I often paint from vintage photographs or movies. Towards Alexanderplatz is from an old home movie made in East Berlin before the fall of the Berlin Wall. The Burn Rate painting is a minimalist grid piece made with oil paint and charcoal I created with dollar bills collected from investors. This piece is now in Vancouver. The cropped piece on the far left is an abstract landscape inspired by a Moroccan street market.

This painting is inspired by an image in an old home movie from Berlin before the fall of the Berlin wall.

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.
