I paint roadsides, rooms, signs, and structures because they carry more than they show.

I paint familiar American spaces: garages, roads, interiors, buildings, signs, and stretches of land. Places people use, pass through, leave behind, and often stop seeing.

I don’t think of these spaces as empty. They carry evidence of work, memory, routine, care, neglect, and time. The people are absent, but the human presence is still there.

I’m not trying to dramatize the ordinary world. I leave a lot out so the place can speak for itself.
