Summer City Hotness - On Sale $125

Hot time summer in the city, this painting is getting dirty and gritty.

A turbulent landscape of sorts, volatile extremes. Like life, one moment it is happy and the other is filled with chaos.

Birch Bend Autumn - On Sale $200

Elated in Scenery

Whimsical “Live Painting” and free flowing, in this series I use bright colors and an improvisational style inspired by music. I work on each piece as if it were a performance, the script unknown until it is complete.

One in Red Sky - On Sale $125

An interesting landscape at dusk with a red sky over the water. Reflections of mountains and some sort of light orb.

Landscape Expressions

From peaceful and desolate, to frightening images of imagined places, this body of work explores my thoughts with an expressionistic style. Themes of texture are in each piece, and the final addition of a coat of stain or wash gives the images an added element of age and depth.

Internal Landscapes

Texture and motion are important parts of any landscape. As I look at the world the texture jumps out at me and this is why I incorporate this element into my abstract landscapes.

Combining landscapes I see in my dreams, and in my life with the texture I find in everyday objects provide the inspiration for each piece. Some of these dreams are tranquil, some, down right frightening; they all etch a scene in my mind that inspires me. From a rusty nail, a distressed old sign, or a rotten piece of wood, I add depth to these landscape scenes from the textures I see in everyday objects.

I am engaged to layer on paint, bringing these textures out and into the scenes. Using brushes, rubber spatulas, fingers and sandpaper I work away at each piece until my vision is realized. Finally I finish them off with a wash or stain, adding age and depth.

Industrial elements combined with nature, rough edges and bumpy terrain merge with soft, sanded edges. These internal landscapes represent places deep inside my mind.

Double Shock - On Sale $200

This was an abstract painting I did back in the Spring of 2001. A piece truly from inside my mind, I had no idea what I was painting when I started, just strong sporadic strokes of dark and light, gradually forming two buildings in a urban city, two planes, and a face of sorrow and figure in despair in the bottom right. After the events of September 2001 that followed the completion of this piece I realized just what I had painted and what I had possibly seen. I feel like it was a premonition, an obscure sign.
