Living and working in Frogtown for the past eight years, my work reflects the neighborhood and hills around me. I use the surrounding landscape as a base to many of the images I create, using the houses and plants to set time and place. The colors and textures of Frogtown are a never ending source of inspiration for me. My paintings are rooted in reality but often transcend into a whimsical or sometimes comical scene, often referencing dreams I've had or or anxieties I hold. I like to think of my landscapes as dreamscapes, more imaginary than real.
