I work in oil on canvas and panel at a variety of scales. My work has dealt with urban architecture, aerial perspective, rooftops, landscapes, and places broadly construed. I am interested in the melding of different kinds of spaces, and particularly the juxtaposition of urban and rural elements. I have always generated material from painting and sketching on site and taking cues from the composition of my physical surroundings. My new work has to do with balance, literally in the form of precarious stacks and piles of rubble and ruins, and figuratively in the form of an ambiguous hesitation between representation and abstraction. I have depicted many kinds of places. At the moment I'm interested in making paintings generative of the feeling of a place that only exists in paint.

Please contact me if you have any questions I can answer. Thank you for visiting my website.
