Ulysses in the bathroom

I make paintings where imaginary characters function as possible cyphers made in reaction to my life experience. I’ve provided in this paper a concise introduction to the circumstances that motivated me to become an artist and how they continue to shape my work today. I have described to the degree possible several key features of my work, including the cultural and disciplinary influences in my work, my process, and what I understand to be the implications for my work.
