Paintings from my college years up until now. Most are oils on canvas or panel.

Re-Present is an exploration in the unfinished nature of memory and community; in this case, drawing from the people and my time in Kenya. As I painted, I was struck by what my memory could recall about these scene and perhaps more revealing, what was left out; colors, small details, maybe unimportant but maybe not. The paintings, while complete, have an unfinished quality about them which feels like the fog and clarity of my memory. I find that community also has this illusive quality. We nearly remember what it is like, and have a semblance of it, but we cannot pull up all the details. This became apparent to me upon my return from Kenya, where subsistence farmers live fulfilled in a substantial community centered around water. The palpable and powerful nature of community cannot be represented materially and maybe can only be remembered….

I am very attracted to drawing with graphite and Conte, it is one of the simplest and most beautiful forms of art coming only from my mind and the skill I have with a pencil. You can see this influence even in my oil paintings.

The Icon Paintings were an attempt to illustrate objects both of interest to me and of daily life in an interesting and aesthetically pleasing way. Taking the mundane and presenting it as Fine Art.
