Oil Painting
Artist Statement
I enjoy painting subject matter that connects me with “simpler” – a time when life seemed less complicated. My work is influenced by artists like Edward Hopper, John Register and Wayne Thiebuad. I render my subject matter realistically and rely on composition and color to draw the viewer in. My hope is that my art evokes a sense of nostalgia, whimsy and sometimes, melancholy.
The medium for Band of Brothers 2 is oil on canvas and duct tape. Soldiers were issued “duck” tape, as they called it, during World War II to seal ammo cans and they quickly found other uses for it. After the war, returning soldiers helped popularize duct tape into American culture.
