I grew up in the city of Detroit, Michigan and was always drawn to
the urban environment. Upon moving to Chicago in the winter of 1990
I immediately fell in love with the city.
I don’t know all the psychological motives that intrigue me
to paint the city— I find it complex and there is a strong sense
of history and human drama. My main goal as a painter is to record this
as I view it and to make one conscious of the spaces beyond the limits
of the painting.
