Artist Statement
Each piece contains images of paintings imbedded within the
places of my life.
My time is spent in environments where I both work and play:
my studio, the outdoors, and home. Photographs of these places
have become commonplace in my work. Some include works-inprogress
from my studio, wooden structures from trail-building
projects, or pictures of birds.
I use inkjet prints, framing devices, and textures from various
materials as tools to create images about painting, living with
paintings, and being with paintings.
