About the Artist
My paintings are centered on conceptualization evolving over time. For that reason it is important for me to devote equal or more time to each painting I do. Although my skills as an artist increase with each work, my creativity is also expanding. Therefore I must concentrate on painting longer so to accommodate for new ideas. My style of painting involves creating a complicated background of hundreds of grids of varying colors. When done the background will loosely look the intended composition. From there I concentrate on adding detail to segments of the painting. This method allows me the most expression because different parts are all done at different times. For example a typical landscape composition might have twenty different trees. Painting all the trees during the same session will tend to create too many similarities and thus a boring composition. Patience and time allows my paintings to reflect my varying emotions and moods and in a strange way create a sense of balance and harmony in what are sometimes very detailed and confusing compositions. This style is well represented in the image "New York City: Chinatown". One can notice the different colors and shapes of the sky in contrast to the buildings and street. These were all painted at different times during the long process. This delayed painting technique creates a unique quality to each individual object.
