Artist Statement
The Context of my paintings reflect the ordinary people I see as I travel around the inner cities where I work or the towns that I visit. They are the workers and the peasants of our genre. They have a subtle melancholy that speaks of sacrifice and struggle - their human passions contained in settings that allude to timelessness and immortality.

In addition these CityScapes - streets and houses - are carriers of more formal qualities of rhythm, geometry and texture and allude to our psychological monuments.

My paintings are gutsy, frank, sensitive and gentle and reflect all aspects of my own personality. The colors are exuberant and transcend the tensions that speak of contemporary urban problems and moments of uncertainty.
