I carry a camera everywhere, shooting a wide variety of sites, sometimes sneaking in through a hole in the fence. These photos are a reference for representational landscape paintings, which range in size from large 8x6' to smaller 12x6" works. The paintings focus on the structures and spaces created for the infrastructure of our modern world. Some of the subjects of these landscapes are power plants, shopping centers, or international ports. I am particularly drawn to the banal and unseen structures dotting the landscape across the country.

I use Google Earth and other online satellite imagery software to research sites and gather reference material for my drawings. I print the satellite photos I collect on to a clear acetate and project the image on to paper, beginning the drawing as a tracing. These range in size as well, both large, 8x5' and smaller 12x18" drawings using charcoal, graphite or gouache. The sites are the same used in the representational paintings, with the reference offering a more detached perspective. The drawings are inspired by maps and technical drawing, striving for information, pattern and structure.
