Visual Art

I paint things I don't want to lose.
Photographs pile up by the thousands and disappear into digital dust. Painting makes me stop, look again, and turn some of them back into objects.
PROCESS / 01
The photograph
is only the beginning.
I often begin with a photograph and use a camera lucida to align the image with the canvas.
The technology helps establish structure. After that, things become less controlled: color, distortion, brushwork, memory, and whatever survives the translation from photograph to paint.
