UPCOMING EXHIBITIONS
Artomatic 2012
Artomatic is back! For those of you not familiar with DC's largest art offering, Artomatic is a month-long community event, where over 1000 artists take over 11 floors of a building and fill it with just about every kind of art you can imagine. This year's Artomatic will be in Crystal City about a block from the Metro.
The big news for me is that I will be premiering two major works, along with their preliminary drawings and sketches. One of these paintings measures about 6 feet wide, which makes it the largest I have ever painted. I'm very excited to show these new works and I hope you'll have the chance to see them in person.
My paintings can be found on the 8th floor, in the SW corner. More detail are here. I will not be attending opening night, however I will be their on Saturday, May 19th for most of the evening as well as June 2nd from 7:00-9:00 pm for Meet the Artist Night. Please stop by and say hello!

STATEMENT
When I begin a painting, I’m usually drawn to basic, simple forms; eggs, paper, trees, buildings. I look to paint objects and landscapes that are non-specific and have a quality of anonymity to them. Elements are often reduced to the most essential and details are sometimes eliminated. My paintings are not literal recordings of nature or the world around me; these works are private meditations on a specific moment. Deliberate and sometimes obsessive, these paintings often carry on and exist within a series, building on and reinterpreting what was before. I try to create pieces that are expressive and reluctant, silent yet certain, and in between I often find tension to be further explored.
