I am a painter who focuses on the quotidian. Mundane scenes and objects - trees, homes, cars, the night, and people, mostly family, are the basis for my experimentation with the application of paint as a response to light and shadow. An ongoing project of mine has been painting ordinary American houses in my Long Island neighborhood, a suburban community outside of New York. These houses interest me not only because they are each unremarkable and repeat in shape and design, but because they also offer many opportunities to paint the effects of light and how it breaks a landscape into major shapes, graphically linking buildings to the landscape.
