painting

My work is mediated through memory.  Snapshots, videos, and sketches help me recall recent or past reminiscences of my travels.  These destinations possess similar, significant elements of time — space — atmosphere — illumination.

Inspired by my approach to photography, which captures gradients of light, shallow depths of field, and minimal information, these traits cycle into my painting;  Painterly photographs — photographic paintings.

I am guided by my memory.  The illusion of each scene flows through a collaboration of mind and hand.  Ambiguous shapes and loose brush strokes create an abstract impression that interprets the fleetingness of remembrance.
