I paint simple objects. Through process, these simple objects are altered and elevated to become more than what they appear. My art makes a statement about the ambiguous, the revered and the sacred. I work with symbolic relationships of forms, light and color in an attempt to create a meaningful dialogue with the viewer using as little information as possible. I look for everyday objects to cast in an extraordinary light. My paintings are dramatizations about light and shadow in everyday circumstances. I think about the elevation of these vessels to spiritual heights. Forms merge to create a dynamic dramatization of an otherwise mundane moment. My paintings are formal, modernist still lifes that are influenced by my perspective of our life cycle, determined by war, nature or time.
