My paintings combine my love of architecture, landscape, shape and color. I particularly like modern architecture set against rugged cliffs where the geometrical hard-edged abstraction sits against jagged broad shapes. Whether the setting is real or imagined, my meticulous painting style plays with both illusion and flat abstracted color, beckoning the viewer to stay a while.
