This oil painting creates a dreamlike atmosphere. Well dressed figures, perhaps from the past, appear to be mingling in a bar or cafe with canopies and tiles. In the background the landscape is adorned with a pyramid. A mix of transparent and opaque layers of oil paint add to the intrigue. The oil painting is on linen that is gallery wrapped around heavy duty stretcher bars.

Oil paint is a partner in my artistic process.

I am a California based artist. I paint landscapes and cityscapes inspired by the world around me. I also am inspired by travel to faraway places and times. Vintage photos and travel-related images often provide inspiration for my paintings. These paintings combine figurative and imaginary elements. I also like to explore pattern and will sometimes make large paintings exploring the variations of a single pattern.

My oil paintings are built up with several layers and I often paint wet into wet. This requires a balance between improvisation and intention. The transparency between layers creates vibration and uncertainty.

I also create charcoal from unique materials such as money, food, documents and plants. These materials have meanings that I can integrate into a drawing or painting. I have developed methods for applying these unconventional charcoals to surfaces. Sometimes I use found objects as templates. Often these relate to the meaning of a piece. These pieces are unique and rich in exploration.
