Charles Dickens Painting

Inspiration for my work usually stems from nostalgic and current events found in literature, nature, and popular culture. Although many of my past work and my commissions portray a more realistic style, my more recent work concentrates on form in subjects. By equally examining the areas that exist within subjects - both obvious and subordinate - and concentrating on the relationships of juxtaposing shapes, lines and colors, the patterns of form reveal inevitable diversity that reflect the fleeting beauty in everyday life.
