Memo / Artist Statement
My work often begins as a visual narrative connected to autobiography. The stories I paint are about immigration, a child’s longing, love, divorce, solitude, my dog, birds, the moon, the sea. I spent a small part of my childhood in Greece, and upon my return was left with the desire to go back. So,I return in my paintings. I think of paintings as means to emote, reminisce, and look back. My paintings are meant to be visual landscapes in which figures appear and disappear. These are stories, embedded, forgotten and revealed, works that hope to haunt and remind.
