My paintings embrace the challenges of refractions and reflections. As a cinematographer, I have always been drawn to such distortions of light and color as found in reflections off of chrome and other shiny surfaces, and in the refractions of glass. It’s no surprise that I continue to adore artifacts of photography, and include them in my paintings, such as shallow depth of field, and motion blur. These limitations cannot be seen by the naked eye, but are rather only captured in photography – or in my paintings! Lastly, I like to add an extra dimension to my pieces by layering related objects or images onto the surface of the painting as if they’ve fallen onto the canvas.
