My paintings hold a balance of figuration and abstract qualities. While employing memory for inspiration, I also work from photographs and films and other 'scrap' and snippets of colors I find in magazines or objects collected. Using a broad range of subjects, I'm usually exploring the general theme of my relation with my environment. My paintings sometimes appear tangled and complex, and like life, offer interrupted views.
Approaching painting in this way offers a sense of commonplace reality, translated into a heightened, and hopefully, timeless moment. Living experience in real-time is how I practice my art. I categorize my work as Contemporary Realist.
The studio at Copper Ridge in Colorado is always open for visits by appointment and is the nucleus for artists Pat Walsh, Sierra Campbell, Christopher Oar, Julie Anderson and Greg Grasso. It's a thriving artists' community.
