Mural-Size
Florals/Succulents:
Ultra close-up views of botanical subjects magnified to visual extremes, with emphasis on intense color and detail. From this perspective a flower becomes a location rather than an object. |
Suits
Series:
Portraits of men from the neck down wearing jackets and ties focus on
patterns and colors but also make reference to issues of power and social
convention.
|
Zen
Still Life Series:
Meticulously rendered, highly magnified studies of small natural objects
in harmonious arrangements suggest that observation reveals the divine
in all things.

Abstract
Realism Series:
Subjects are portayed in shallow space with everything up to the picture
plane, making
pattern, design and composition
the primary focus. Paintings of decaying signposts address the ephemeral
nature of human events and appear to be collage on a grand scale.
|
Groundscapes
Series:
Mural size paintings depict the everyday evidence of life in extreme close-up
observations of the urban environment. Emphasis is on the places where
human intervention and nature coincide.
|
Surreal
Landscape Series:
Imaginary and mysterious landscapes serve as background for incongruous
juxtapositions of subjects in the foreground and play with our sense of
space and perspective.
