The strangeness and beauty of what appears ordinary, and the nobility and living presence of objects in space are what fascinate me as a painter. My images are mostly based on memories of being on the road, photographs I have taken over the years, and “found” images. When something grabs me, I play with it until it becomes something more pungent and iconic.
