Cityscapes
Because my studio is located in the city of Pittsburgh, I see more of the urban landscape than anything else. This imagery is reflected in most of the work I do. The "less affluent areas" of Pittsburgh have become interesting to me. They evoke a feeling of quiet melancholy and honesty. The work of Edward Hopper comes to mind as I study these forlorn houses, standing alone, their neighbors torn down due to dilapidation. I like to give a "voice" to scenes mostly overlooked by others.
If you want to experience Pittsburgh visually, take a ride with me. I'll show you the good, the bad and the so-called ugly. As a painter, I enjoy experiencing the city's endless textural qualities
