Pacific Coast
Artist Statement
I paint with acrylic on canvas or wood panels. Stylistically, the
work is quite representational, with a perpetual focus on the
past. I like to explore the flora and fauna of antediluvian locales
and other bygone allures; I’m captivated by démodé genres and
intrigued by anachronistic faces. I’m fascinated by the world’s big
topics: Time, Love, Intrigue, Desire, Ambition, and What does it all
mean? I’m always playing for a bit of nostalgia to trigger a viewer’s
memory. Kind of a Proustian thing: a prescient remembrance of
how it all began, way back, when “riverrun, past Eve and Adam’s.”
