I paint the abstract beauty of industry.
I look for interesting shapes and abstractions created by manufactured objects to explore form, composition, color and texture. Although the subject matter often demands to be rendered with a degree of believability, the more important goal is distilling what I see into visual stories that resonate and stir memories.
Even as a kid, I had an affinity for man-made things that linked to another time -- elevated train stations... subway cars with rattan seats... propeller planes... architecture and furniture from the art deco period... streamlined automobiles; and the art of folks like Edward Hopper, Charles Sheeler and George Bellows.
Now when I make my own art, I’m drawn to subject matter that takes me back there — modernistic structures... nostalgic photos... highways... trucks... industrial objects. I celebrate the care and skill that went into their design, their stately and precise beauty, and their ability to stir feelings of simplicity, curiosity and wonder.
I invite you to join me on the journey.
