Day 27/50 • “Q&A Sunday”

 

Q: What are you trying to tell about the subjects in your paintings?

​

A: I don't know if I'm trying to tell anything specific about the subjects, but instead, I'm hoping to inspire a curiosity for other people and their lives. I capture a lot of images, but I spend a good deal of time culling, looking for the pictures that suggest more than what's seen. I hope people will wonder who someone is, why they're doing what they're doing, or what their life story is. 

If we can be open to learning about someone, we will always find commonalities. There are bridges between us, and learning to see someone else's experiences as our own is one of the ways we can start to cross those bridges.
