Artist Statement

I live and paint in Abington, Pennsylvania. The views of what I see when I walk out the door has always been what drives me to create. I want to paint the day that the scene existed in and log it as a memory. My work is a compilation of journaled overlooked moments in our environment and everyday life.

I look for the quiet moments in life. I strive to enhance the color, light, and space of the scene with an inventive aspect added to my environments. I zero in on simple moments like the slight off-color of the sky or the formulation of branches and how the sky peeks through in such an intricate way.

It is more about the paint rather than just painstakingly copying every leaf or blade of grass. I strive to recreate what I am seeing to create a feeling of nostalgia.
