Artist Statement
People and urban landscapes are the fundamental theme in my work. I try to convey the idea that there is dignity in almost every human endeavor, and my portraiture allows me to express that dignity on an individual level. Urban landscapes, being the natural extension of the human experience, convey a collective dignity all their own. My hope is that I can successfully communicate these same ideas through my paintings and for me, clarity of expression can best be achieved by the dramatic combination of strong values, forms, and composition.
