  I paint through direct observation of everyday, commonplace objects and places that have a peculiar purpose or a purpose that is telling of an aspect of our culture. I consider the materials, textures, colors, and graphic qualities of the objects and the light and space in which they exist, building the surface with alla prima layers. Gradually, obsessively, I clarify the image over several months of concentrated effort in an attempt to capture the qualities of the initial fascination. In my work, I strive to elevate very prosaic subjects to another place.
