I find myself drawn to the hidden abstract patterns, random shapes and aesthetic tensions I see in manufactured objects particularly within the confines of industrial structures, machinery, and vehicles.

Although I paint in a realistic style, my focus isn’t necessarily on replicating a photograph or the precise rendering of objects, but rather on conveying the interesting compositional design and mood created by and within those objects. I ask viewers to share a journey of discovery with me and hope they’ll become as excited and fascinated as I am about the beauty that can be found in what’s often taken for commonplace and mundane.

In this way, I define my works as abstract compositions nested in the guise of realism, and I use this as criteria that informs my choices of what to paint.
