When asked to come up with an adjective to describe my work, I continually return to the word quiet. My paintings are contemplative studies of the places I know. I paint what I see around me. Sometimes the scenes I choose may not at first appear to be beautiful; a telephone pole, a concrete barrier, a building in need of repair. But by choosing these scenes I hope to capture the quiet beauty of everyday life. My focus is on structure, light and space. I try to portray my subjects in as straightforward a manner as possible without idealizing them. I am particularly interested in the intersection of man and nature.
