My work represents America's contemporary landscape as I’ve experienced it—living in neighborhoods and driving into urban centers throughout different periods of my life. Whether I’m exploring the moon’s surface through a telescope on a dimly lit street, driving past tracts of new developments, or walking through the city, I’m continuously provoked to stop, observe, and record my surroundings. Ultimately, my drawings, paintings, and mixed media constructions are composed from the fragments of light, visual vibrations, and sounds that emanate from these spaces.
