ABSTRACT PAINTER | PHOTOGRAPHER

 

ABOUT MY WORK

My paintings explore a freeze-frame moment in time and the situations and relationships which manifest within. My pure abstracts are derived from my wrecking yard photos and exhibit the beauty and energy derived from this chaos.  My photography reveals  the hidden world of visual wonder found within the degradation of metal.
