My medium is oil. I use my own photos as reference materials. I often take my photos and cut them up, rearrange and combine them in different ways. I like to
play with light and dark, foreground and background and real versus made up or surreal.
Another focus of my work has been light: how to paint it, how to make one feel it. I want to get the color of a lit object or building just right, to the point that I can convey a sense of place in time.
