I make paintings of nothing spaces—places of waiting, landscapes that drone by during a commute, visual white noise, the places between places where things happen. I paint spaces where I feel that painting is needed to be made visible. Painting functions as means of translating these quiet experiences in a place. These paintings both seek and create silence. They prize the lone viewer. Subtle shifts in color are not immediately obvious. They unfold with time and space. A gray is never just gray. Varied chromatic grays, near whites, and unanticipated pastels invite viewers to look more closely to see there is more to these ignorable spaces.
