Artist Statement:
On Location is a series of paintings exploring a sense of specific place suspended in time. My focus is on bringing the digital process to painting and the painting process to digital imaging, while maintaining an active communication between the two vocabularies. The work itself is a mapping of personal territory, and a reaffirmation of my on-going interest in color, dimensional form, random selection, and intuitive process.
