Narrative Painting

I am a Chicago artist, and have been creating work since the mid-90's.  I describe my work as Narrative Painting, presenting recognizable images in ambiguous ways, to encourage the viewer to develop their own "story" about what they see.

I admire a wide variety of visual art, and consider American Modernist painters who worked in the 1920's to 1950's as my primary inspiration.

I got started taking art classes at a neighborhood gallery when I was about 30, although I am largely self-taught.
