When you look at a classic landscape, certain elements are always there: perspective, horizon line, depth, and focal points.  I’m creating fresh and new landscapes with modern themes, adding abstraction, found objects, collage, surrealism, and distorted perspective.
           
These techniques combined together, create my own language in which I communicate my feelings about the environment.
Looking at a finished picture, the viewer will be reminded about a place or space they have been before, and everyone will see something different.  I hide objects inside abstraction to create up close interest, and surprise viewers when they are found.  Because I rarely use sketches, my pictures are either finished or not, so I work on hundreds at a time, waiting and searching for the right time or object that will complete them. Often, if one part isn’t working I will cover it in paint, and it becomes an under layer that will add to the final product.

I have developed this process for over fifteen years now, and though my techniques are not new, the way I use them creates my own fingerprint. And through each piece my process evolves, urging me toward the point of completion.
