~ Artist Statement ~
"I am taken
with the architectural elements of old buildings and find them more interesting as they weather with age.... cracked
and patched plaster, moldy green stones and splintered wood tell the story of the structure especially through the doorways
and windows. It brings a sense of familiarity and comfort to me and I want others to get that same feeling from looking
at one of my paintings, that breathtaking feeling of deja vu. More recently I have found that the simpler the composition, the more effective
the painting is. It started with the stairway in "Heading Up" shown here above right.... the shadows and high contrast
make for a more interesting design. Funny how we eventually return to what we initially loved to do in the first place! Once
again, deja vu strikes."
