I've always said that I paint what I see.
Sometimes I create new stories
-imagining new space and form-
while other times I am reaching into the past looking to evoke a memory.
By re-imagining the familiar I aim to make my viewer rediscover their surroundings or re-examine on oft overlooked corner of their neighborhood.
The greatest reward for me is drawing an emotional response from my viewer that reaches beyond mere aesthetics into the heart.
