STATEMENT

My work combines architectural elements with contrasting interiors. The paintings explore color, texture, and light, and the interplay between inside and outside.  The architectural structure has a “conversation” with the more free-flowing, organic or ephemeral elements – the shifting patterns of light inside, or snippets of landscape glimpsed through a window or door.

In addition to the formal concerns in my work, there is a psychological goal. I intend the contrasts between inside and outside; light and dark to function as metaphors for our human experience – the inner and outer self.  Windows and doors can open on new and hopeful horizons or to the murkier unknown; panes of glass can reveal, obscure, alter or restrict vision.
