​"Catalyst" - portraits of outdated signage and buildings

The subjects of my work are everyday buildings and structures that I view as the physical memories of the cities in which they are located. Memory is selective and never as exact as the actual event, but is still present and embraced. Likewise, most of these buildings are no longer pristine or functioning, and yet they remain present and part of the urban landscape. This body of work for this exhibition is comprised solely of oil paintings ranging in size from miniatures to medium sized paintings. The oil paints allow for layering that assists in conveying the effects of time on the subjects being rendered. My goal for this exhibition is to provide an outlet for viewers to draw upon their own memories in response to the paintings.​
Rather than needing the audience to have connections to the specific locations, the narrative created by the paintings stand in for similar locations town to town.
