 
|  | | My current work is a marriage between digital
photography and analog oil painting. My photos are the basis
for my work, but the paintings themselves are painstakenly painted,
often with very small brushes. My paintings are not exactly
photorealistic, as I allow myself to diverge from the photograph when
necessary.
I search my surroundings for images
that resonate with me, because of the play of light, perspective, and
color. I am a scavenger constantly looking for "beauty." I am
especially pleased when I find it hiding in plain sight in parking
garages, along the road, etc. I paint such images to elevate my
original photography and to share my perspective with others. In a
world so baffling in its artificiality and complexity, I am comforted
by the simple pleasures of light, color, clouds, and visual
perspective, that persist and show themselves even in traffic, or in a
parking garage.
