In my work I document my movements across the land, exploring the relationships between natural landscapes and the manmade objects therein. Through my paintings I attempt to capture moments that speak of the human condition, and tell a personal story as well as a universal one.

I am particularly interested in the "between spaces" that occur in our urban and rural environments, and calling attention to ubiquitous objects that are so overly familiar that we fail to notice them in the everyday. One example is the telephone pole - our quiet and stately companions in this era that punctuate our horizons by the millions, but are steadily disappearing as new technologies arise.

As I drive I see a story unfold about the monuments we leave behind as we make our way in the world, the signs we place to point the way, and the stillness of the natural world as it watches us go about our business.

My paintings are inspired by actual locations, which I photograph and sketch in person and later paint in my studio. The ability to revisit the site is an important part of my creative process.

As an “Interpretive Realist," I am concerned with documenting physical locations, while also attempting to capture the soul and geometry of moment and place.
