"My work explores the everyday object. Familiar objects ranging from fruit to cars are worked out in bold colors, strong lines, and solid areas. Some of my work is very graphic and blocky, while other pieces are softer line drawings filled with color. One style that is particularly attractive to me is creating line drawings of manmade objects againssolid areas that create natural landscapes, rendering the manmade object transient against an environment that has existed for billions of years
I also enjoy exploring patterns and placing them in a context that makes one really think twice about their placement
