Photography wise, I'm pretty much looking exclusively for found abstraction these days. Specifically, close-up beautiful decay textures in the form of walls, metal, glass, nature — you name it. Usually the grungier the better! The B&W subjects generally lean minimalist while the Color Work slants towards abstraction too, but with a dose of graphic and pop art. The bonus-bingo is all the photography work helps drive potential painting directions.

The Grid Series photomontages are one-off art constructions consisting of fifty-four 3" squares hand-cut from three separate Inkjet prints (archival Epson Hot Press paper). Of late I've been producing larger pieces utilizing 72 squares.


Like many, I started in photography exclusively shooting landscapes. If I had to pick ten 'minimalist favorites' from that period, this portfolio, (boxed) collection would probably be it. At least for today.
