We don't know what we don't know yet.

I start to paint from my belly; then my heart gets involved, and then my head catches up.   When I look at my paintings I feel content, I see possibility and  potential. They are a reminder that we don't know what we don't know yet.  A reminder that everything is made up of something else, what's on the surface, what we see, is usually not the whole story.

A number of things come together to make something happen. There are a lot of small parts that affect the big picture; each of those small parts is interesting. You can't have a big picture without all the small parts. And how we see all those small parts is affected by the bigger picture. An expansive, broad concept in continual revolution; change being the only constant. That to me is exciting.

Previous Work

Atmospheres
Images in the “Atmospheres” series depict horizon like lines and tangible, visual distances with a tranquil, Eastern sensibility. I’m working to capture an experience much larger than the canvas; describing just enough to give the viewer a point of departure.

S.R.R. Beginnings
S.R.R. (Shadows, Reflections, Repetition) These images are developed from patterns and textures found in everyday life, from both man-made objects, architecture, and nature. You might imagine the shadows of tree leaves on an aged brick sidewalk as an accurate starting point.

S.R.R. Portraits
More from the S.R.R. series. Concepts for these are inspired by images created from the combination of reflective surfaces and moving water. Picture a glass office building reflecting a glimpse of  a sunset in the rain. A brief view of transient images that often look repeated, but are never exactly the same.
