The Artist Says:
My interests in fine art and in architecture grew simultaneously
throughout my life. Eventually, I have come to see that they are one and
the same. But as much or more than any real world structure, the images
of architecture - the stories it has to tell - are what truly fascinate
me.
What buildings and the cityscapes of the world have to tell us about who
we are as people; how we view our lives: past, present and future, our
relationship to our natural environment and other creatures, as well as
to our fellow humans, make endlessly compelling narratives. These are
the stories I try to tell in my paintings.
