I use marks to paint contrasts that define space. By pushing color, texture and value I try to define a realistic setting. All of my pieces contain a bit of myself. What I see every day is likely different than what others may see. An abandoned building or a sunrise over a commercial facility have a meaning that isn’t noticed in this time of technology and overwhelming information. I paint so that others may realize the silent grace, rhythm and peacefulness that exist in this busy world.
