My subject is attention, itself, simple and direct. I choose familiar objects that pass perceptual filters, and create images that resonate against stored memory. The over-driven version reaches awareness each time it’s seen, so that over time the painting becomes a daily presence, instead of fading into the background.

Over the years I’ve worked for time-clock wages up to product design, all the while maintaining a studio and continuing to paint. My approach to acrylic medium has been influenced by prior experience with screen-process printing. Primary colors are reduced to transparency and applied in layers, with secondary colors mixing on the canvas, back to front. Foundations are studio-built.
