My paintings are based on photographs I take with a small digital camera. The photographs are of everyday, ordinary places in which a type of light, an arrangement of forms, or a certain mood has caught my eye. I like the modest yet relentless quality of the mundane. Ubiquitous and familiar, it is a constant, elemental part of our lives, reflecting and defining us.
Working with shapes, patterns, and lines found in the photographs, I develop more abstract compositions involving ideas of color, tone, and pictorial structure, with each composition retaining varying degrees of the original image and its specific qualities. I want there to be a dynamic relationship between the representational and the abstract, or possibly a fluid synthesis of the two rendering either term alone inadequate.
