For the past five years, much of my painting has focused on advancing my technique through portraiture placing emphasis on developing my palette and honing my skills.  But at the present time, I am moving my work in a different direction, focusing more on human culture and the space we create than the human figure.

I have been using photography more as a vital step in the process of creation than as just a tool to aid painting.  I try to create  a clear picture of the sterile environments with which we often surround ourselves, the ways in which we attempt to separate or barricade ourselves from nature.
