From the artist: Old fishing boats have always fascinated me.

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.

Their strong simple shapes inspire me to try to somehow preserve their beauty captured at a moment in time.
