Combining observation and memory, my work reflects the visible world and revels in its mystery.

Uncluttered landscapes and interiors serve as backdrops for scenes that appear ordinary yet, distilled into an essence of color, light and form, suggest an underlying tension or deeply felt state of being. Though my subject matter originates from personal roots, I hope to convey something universal, allowing viewers to bring their own meaning into the work.

Seeking compositions that are pure, elemental and visually intriguing, my focus shifts from people to the places they inhabit, and explores ways to integrate both. I continue to explore new media and new ways of revealing the poetry in the familiar, visible world.
