My current body of work captures overlooked everyday objects at rest.

Thru the play of light, shadow, and reflection, much emerges that is otherwise hidden in the banality of mundane surfaces. Each holds a hidden and unacknowledged emotional power. They fill our lives yet we rarely examine who we really are as consumers or acknowledge our debt to these objects for bringing us lives of convenience.

Plywood
The plywood series began quite by accident: I was in the mood to sketch on a big scale one evening but was too lazy to go to my truck to get my newsprint. The large loosecharcoal sketches on scraps of plywood quickly evolved into an ongoing series of paintings. Painting on canvas now constrains me. As a result, I much prefer the the freedom of skecthing and painting on plywood.

Cleaning Supplies
The monotype series, Cleaning Supplies I, was first begun in August of 2006. They are printed on a Mailänder proofing press by master printer Francesco X Siqueiros of El Nopal Press in Los Angeles, California. Each session generates, on average, 2 unique monotypes and 1 ghost from the original oil painting. The series is a continuing work in progress.
