My painting is a visual analysis and interpretation of the world around me. By focusing on a subject intensely, I'm able to breakdown the natural forms of an object into it's fundamental shapes of color and value. The process itself becomes something meditative in nature; hours go by but time sits still. Painting is one of those things that at times is very difficult, but in the end it can give you something great in return. However, painting is not always just about the act itself. For me time has played an integral role in my painting, not just the time I spend on the paintings, but the simple idea of what time is. Through stillness comes movement, and through movement comes stillness; an eternal present moment underneath an ever changing world of matter.
