Creating a two-dimensional flat surface that alludes to a three-dimensional realm has always intrigued me. This idea is certainly not a new concept, however using the conventions of painting, creating decorative surfaces, pushes these illusions of interior space versus exterior spaces. My decision of making small 4" x 6" painting rectangular boxes of space, or windows into another world on a 40" x 60" canvas deems purposeful to my intentions. I enjoy adding still life elements and create drama using the device of light and shadow. The objects can be psychologically charged with connections to loneliness, alienation or just the aura or mystique of a person's existence. Other times its just a window to a beautiful view or other world. I have a passion for making everyday objects and places a colorful new experience.
