The Wherewithal

what it takes: on process and the conditions of art from the interior

...and after that catharsis of questions, i am going to paint, paint, paint! Got to test my theories.

The Delicacy of Wondering: Kansas City, MO, United States; I was born three weeks early during an 80's heatwave and have not slowed down or cooled off since. After Catholic high school and classes at John Herron School of Art, I attended Indiana University Bloomington leaving after one year to attend art school in Sarasota, Florida. The beach culture challenged and expanded my pragmatic midwestern work ethic to embrace conceptual and process-based strategies in painting. Painting has become a daily practice that coincidentally both my grandmothers partook in before my time. I again reside in Middle America, currently calling KCMO home.
