Cadets, collegians and prep-school boys inhabit fictionalized dorm rooms and academic settings in paintings that investigate identity and relationships between young men.

Historical to current images of young men are recontextualized, manipulated and merged to create narratives and relationships that address desire, longing and isolation, as well as intimacy, fraternity and coming of age.
