I had painted casually throughout my design career, but took to it in earnest in 2005 as a means to satisfy my interest in building my skills and seeking a particular vision for my work. I found some old slides of car parts I had taken from my time in Ohio. These became large canvases with a special intriguing view of automotive details and reflections.
I translate my interest and fascination with classic automobiles into compelling compositions. Each one relies on the principles of balance, value, and movement. They are not so much documentations of a car in a particular moment as they are line compositions that satisfy my investigations of the edges of each painting.
