American Man
This series is about the relationship between the painting and the viewer.  I want to  explore the intimacy, the lack of intimacy, and the illusion of intimacy between the  image and the viewer. 


Life as a Flower
This series is about the relationship between the objects in the painting.  Flowers are immobile and mostly helpless, and I like the metaphor.  Of course, the flower's perspective is not the only one to be considered. 


Abstract paintings
In this series, I explore form, line, depth, texture, and contrast.  I want to create ambiguity.
