"The Tool Collector"
32" x 40" • Acrylic on Canvas
My paintings are of common scenes, everyday occurrences
in which people struggle to establish and maintain relationships.
It is these universal emotions and situations which most interest me."
"I encourage viewers to participate in the narrative by placing
themselves inside my scenes and characters. When asked by viewers
if their interpretation of a painting is a true one, I say,
'The paintings must stand on their own.'
I don't tell them that their stories often rival my own."
