Artist's Statement
My works are architectural fantasies which attempt to record the urban/urbane/mundane observances I see on a daily basis. Images impact me on a two-dimensional plane and with an approach towards monumental simplicity --given any scale-- a structure/elevation becomes a vision construed in space. The resultant spatial translation reflects my personal ideology.
Recent inspirations have been architectural elements from travels
to Italy, England and Hong Kong, in addition to inner cardboard
packaging (tectiforms), and an Illinois Army National Guard sign.
