from the artist: I've long been inspired by old things. The texture and play of light on a weathered surface are the things that spark my imagination. I seek to capture a building's essence in my paintings, in a time less hurried with a calmness of spirit. Their strong simple shapes inspire me to try to somehow preserve their beauty captured at a moment in time.
