“I like to draw imagery from various forms, but have a strong affinity to keeping it simple. I appropriate images I find from various sources of figures and apply it to the canvas in a spontaneous manner. I also like to re-examine recurring figures in my paintings such as police cars and advertising billboards, to gain that sense of recognizability.”
