ARTIST STATEMENT
My Favorite Strangers: 2020 Senior Capstone Project, Kenyon College
I paint portraits because I love people. I think it’s great that people bond over shared experiences with absolutely nothing to gain, that any given stranger will throw me a bemused smile from across the room if we both witness a child squeal loudly in a nice restaurant. I love the fleeting moments of solidarity that pop out when you least expect them, over a mutual favorite food or a guilty pleasure reality TV show. These fleeting friendships light up my life. They are little bursting reminders of togetherness.
