Artist Statement:
Most of my work is
non-representational due to my
attraction to color, shape,
form and texture.
The textured walls, graffiti,
and posters of the urban
streets of San Francisco where
I walk everyday have been a
large influence on my own
painting style.
I start off walking around San
Francisco taking pictures, and
discovering new surfaces that
I later develop into artwork.
I am able to play with
composition because I tend to
zoom in and crop what I find
most interesting in the
pictures.
Once I have an idea I make a
small study of the photograph,
which will then be used for
the larger work.
The majority of my work is on
canvas, and the sizes vary
from medium size to larger
pieces. I enjoy working on
larger mixed media paintings
because they allow me to take
images of urban streets and
enlarge them to the point of
abstraction. I strive to
create richly textured
surfaces using a variety of
materials such as oil paint,
acrylic, pumice, joint
compound, paper, liquin,
galkyd and spray paint. In
this way, the urban textures
are translated into the
painting surfaces. ...
