My interest lies in finding luminous beauty and translating it into luscious, physical images. The interaction of light with metallic and glass-like surfaces has always fascinated me, as does the visual stimulation of saturated colors.

I paint with oils on aluminum. I make aluminum structures, adding various sheens and textures. I paint from photographs I take: close-up, somewhat abstract, colorful shots of minerals. Responding to my photographs and the multitude of surfaces, the final product reveals creamy paint next to cool metal.
