STATEMENT

My work, both in painting and drawing, centers around the architecture of the landscape, both grand and small, wild and domesticated, man-made or natural.  Constructed utilizing multiple media and paired down to the compositional essentials of color and form, these works reflect my cognitive reconciliation with those often-times overlooked spaces as a means of self-understanding and grounding, refuge and reflection, of yearning for contemplation, peace and solace.
