Statement

I create mechanical abstractions made of imagined engineered elements. Painted by hand onto canvas or paper, my work is often perceived as computer generated. In reality, I improvise forms entirely with pencil and paint.

Inspired by technology and engineering fields as well as formal abstraction, I paint out and add elements as needed. I keep forms reduced to flat color and black line to direct the focus to the structures created.

When complete, each painting attempts to combine the enigmatic qualities of the mechanical world with that of the abstract.
