from the artist: old fishing boats have always fascinated me. those on the verge of falling apart, and sinking into the sea seem to call me, and i cannot pass one by without shooting a photograph as inspiration for a future painting. i seek to capture their essence, in a time less hurried, a calmness of spirit. i want to preserve their beauty.

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.
