Through painting I attempt to create objects with a distinct presence or aura. I want my work to evoke both a sense of place and moment. The “meaning” of my work is not attached to language or specific concept.

In my recent work I have been using images as the basis for my paintings. I choose from snapshot photographs that I have taken of public landscapes and infrastructure. I want the images themselves to be relatively familiar if not mundane and overlooked commonalities of everyday life.  From these images I attempt to make objects that quietly compel a deeper content.
