In my painting I best communicate my interpretation of the world around me in representational subjects focusing on architecture, mainly houses, in the environment. Architecture was something I gravitated towards and something that inspired me. I was attracted to the geometric shapes set against organic and natural settings. Also, on sunny days, I was interested in the way the sunlight defined these shapes and shadows naturally, enhancing their sculptural qualities and creating the illusion of depth in the painting.

Focusing on one subject has allowed me to explore and expand on one idea. This focus has caused a plethora of ideas to manifest. In order not to get overwhelmed I capture all my ideas in a sketchbook. Also, with notes and sketches I am able to build concepts, refine images, and use these ideas for reference for future work, and integrate them into recent ideas.

Although, my subject matter is recognizable in my paintings, they are not naturalistic. They originate from conceptual ideas such as the unexpected and unintentional involvement with the subject, the abstract qualities in representational subjects, and the way these structures appear and disappear in the landscape. Also, they are physically impossible idealized images with exaggerated colors and structure. With this I am able to express a specific atmosphere and mood in the painting.

I use my surroundings as an inspiration for my work. With this I am constantly seeking something within me that expresses what I am thinking and feeling as well as including the interpretation of the world around me.
