Statement

I didn’t realize I was a Walking Artist until I saw the term in this Spiegel article about Marseille: http://www.spiegel.de/fotostrecke/fotostrecke-79303-8.html My work frequently seems to relate to loneliness, or the contemplative nature of the solitary individual. My landscape and environmental paintings are seen from the viewpoint of the pedestrian, who sees details that pass as a blur to the person in a vehicle. I frequently walk with a camera to catch something which might make a good painting, something broken down, used up, neglected or forgotten, which becomes invisible and disappears from the view of the average swiftly-moving person.
