Biography

Artist Statement:

I construct my paintings by deconstructing quasi-random photographs I collect digitally. Reorienting the figure and ground into the limited space of the painting support is like a puzzle. I work with a limited palette and with my glasses off. The result is a study in movement, skewed perspective and unconventional contrasts.

I also carve stamps from rubber or soft plastic and use them to apply paint with a number of different approaches, creating patterns, atmospheres and surrealism.

Education:

Bachelor and Master of Fine Arts from Tyler School of Art, Temple University, Philadelphia, Pa., with additional post graduate work at Specialist Printmaking Group, Brighton University in Brighton, Sussex, and Carlow University in Pittsburgh, Pa.

Exhibitions:

Trinity Gallery, Pittsburgh, solo exhibition "Cinema Verite" 2009
Boxheart Gallery, Pittsburgh, solo exhibitions: "Bokse Art" 2008, "Peripheral Visions" 2010

Artistic Influences:

All visual artists who preceeded me, from cave paintings onward, but especially since the mid 19th century.
Bonnard, Rothko, Hopper, Diebenkorn....
