artist statement:
While my work has been fixed on drawing, it has often extended and/or digressed into print, photo and digital media. The process of drawing remains central and insatiable, requiring new improvisational strategies. It also demands a level of understanding where any subject, however quirky, obscure, mundane or trite, can become unpredictably idealized. Recent work has been focused on highway vistas as well as commercial architecture and landscapes of urban fringe settings, often in the context of sketchbook studies. Recent work has come out of my interest in the etchings of G. B. Tiepolo, Canaletto, and the engravings of William Blake.
