I'm naturally drawn to vintage and retro themes, especially domestic images with a surreal quality to them. Inspired by an antique bathroom fixtures catalog advertisement where the woman appearing in the reflection of the bathroom mirror is mysteriously there but also not in frame, outside of the depicted room. She appears as an apparition in the mirror tending to her appearance, in a portion of the room we can only access through reflection. And so the subject of reflection is the theme of this surreal painting. Measures 30" x 30" mounted on 2.5" unpainted wood, and very well constructed and sturdy. No need for framing. Enjoyed from a distance it projects it retro saturated color and subtle mood quite well.

Born in San Francisco during the summer of love, and raised in Portland, Oregon from childhood. Oregon is a region I am tied to at heart. I was given a set of oil paints and taught realism painting by my artist father as a teen, and have continued on in this style from a nostalgic point of view. The style, themes, places, and objects of the past are always on my mind. Attended Pacific NW College of Art and earned a BFA in Painting, and Photography. From there I began the practice of taking my own photos for painting references, and always work from my own photos unless referencing a vintage piece of printed ephemera. Influenced by Edward Hopper, Fairfield Porter, Ralph Goings, and the filmmaking of David Lynch. The realism style came naturally to me, and I continue to use it to access my unconscious rather than rely on it purely for literal depiction. For me realism or representational painting is a surreal method to bridge to the past. .
