Short Story/Surprise Ending Painting

My goal as an artist is to use imagery to penetrate the veneer of everyday appearances, to activate and bring to the surface latent and surprising possibilities within. Primarily, my process is about the freedom derived from re-arranging a set of givens from the visible world. I am inspired by settings in nature and the urban environment, and in them I see a vivid contemporary folklore. When I draw and paint I open up new spaces using architectural and organic forms.
