Bridges 2006

As a child I had a fascination with water. After a hard rain my buddies and I would build dams, channels, and bridges all over the neighborhood. The bridges where my favorite and to be able to ride my bike over a large span of open water on six inch wide bridge began my bridge passion. Since then I’ve built many bridges, (five alone on my property crossing over a winding creek) and always wide eyed when I pass a newly discovered bridge. Bridges was a commission piece for some friends in New York City. I wanted to combine a verity of massive bridges in a part of the world where it’s not practical, other than the pure beauty to a bridge enthusiast.

Development 2005

When I painted Development I was fresh out of college. I had learned a lot in the past four years, mostly who I was as an artist. I felt many of my paintings where incomplete before I would move on to another piece not allowing them to become what I fully intend them to become. Paintings where piling up, ideas churning in, I needed to focus. Development became (I felt) like many other of my cityscapes so I attempted to redevelop how I would approach a painting.
