Artist Statement -



I am a still life and cityscape artist and a contemporary realist I paint and draw a moment of ligh with all of its visual contradictions. I work in oils, oi on paper, pencil, silverpoint, watercolr and lithography.
I have strong feelings about my still life objects which are carefully observed from life. The relationship between the objects are formal but at times they have an implied narrative. Although my approach tends to be linear and precise, I try to have a beatiful and sensual surface.
My cityscapes which are photobased, also discribe one moment of light. The forms and space in these paintings are clear with docrative patterns, windows, trees, graffitti. . Recent cityscapes are industrial
