ARTIST STATEMENT In my 28 years of painting, I have predominantly desired to depict conceptual stories. The common thread in all of my paintings is a strong conceptual drawing as a backbone, a strong light source, and using color to evoke feelings while also symbolically moving your eyes around the painting. Currently, I’m making paintings of camp sites. Within these conceptual paintings I keep the premise simple: nature, an animal (or animals), a tent (or tents), a strong identifiable light source, (and generally) only the implication of people. |
