About the artist

Many of my landscapes are anchored by architectural subjects, which allow me to center my interest on form, light and composition, with less stress upon the particulars of a given locality. Thus it is with architecture that I can feel most abstract. What drives the image is the array of shapes and how they occupy the picture plane, rather than whether a building or road happens to be in France, Spain or England. Since architectural subject matter lends itself to the composing of forms within a space, I have over the years returned again and again to the same buildings to produce closely related images."
