I am both a painter and an illustrator. While both disciplines offer distinctions in style and setting, I could not have one without the other. Painting offers access to another realm of interpretation, one that goes by a separate set of rules which I have established for myself.

As an abstract expressionist painter, I utilize acrylic as my main medium, occasionally incorporating found objects and working on found surfaces. My painted work is separated into two series at the present– ‘Typewriter Dreams’ and ‘Silhouette Landscapes’.

The ‘Typewriter’ series focuses on playful use of bright color and energetic brush and knife strokes, as well as the use of stamps to create patterns of letterforms. Incorporation of found objects encourages the mischievous nature of the work, allowing the viewer to soak in the tactile intensity of the pieces and create their own conclusions of what they see.

Moving away from the frenzy of the typewriter series, the ‘Silhouette’ series strives to establish a calm, static milieu for its mundane, everyday subjects. Power lines, telephone poles, iron bridges and shrubbery objects a painter would ordinarily edit out of the picture are showcased in stark clarity against robust blue or turbu-lent grey skies. As a commuter, these views were my constant. It wasn’t long before the roadside monotony came to serve as my inspiration.
