I am originally from San Francisco, and I have lived in New York City since 1992. During this time, I have been painting; I've been staring down my dearest wish to give these dreams flesh and blood.  I live in Astoria, Queens with my lovely wife, my miracle son, two cats, and this sneaking suspicion.

About my work

I make oil paintings.  The images seem like figures in a landscape.  They invoke light and gravity.   These environmental conditions come as much from the physical properties of paint as much as color or line.  The film of paint is a gesture in itself that engages the viewer like a dance partner.

My images are ostensibly invented; but the spaces are not so much constructed as re-calibrated so that they shape a kind of memory… or perhaps they are tuned like a piano so that they can strike a certain chord...
