Spokane, WA

Statement:

The style of my work is still shifting; every new town, each new experience brings new inspiration.  Many of my motifs stem from an interest in archietcture and urbanism.  Street lights, bricks, and telephone poles seem to make their way into many of my paintings, regardless of my intentions.  I work primarily with acrylic, adding texture with found materials, i.e. cardboard, metal scraps, cloth, loose tabacco, etc.   My art serves as an outlet for memories gone stale, frustration, wonder.
