My work combines architectural elements with contrasting interiors. The paintings explore color, texture, and light, and the interplay between inside and outside. The architectural structure has a “conversation” with the more free-flowing, organic or ephemeral elements – the shifting patterns of light inside, or snippets of landscape glimpsed through a window or door

These iconic images are a visual feast for the eyes while eliciting nostalgic childhood memories, when life was uncomplicated. They evoke a time in my life when an Oreo or Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup was the center of my universe.
