WORKS

A Keystone is the stone at the top of the arch that keeps the whole structure in place. It also symbolizes the concept that all pieces of a structure must work together to support the whole. These paintings are heavily influenced by my roots in architecture and puzzle solving. They are created with multiple layers and an exploration of shapes, geometry, color and design. Each “piece” in the painting is integral to the structure of the composition.

As our world grows more and more complicated I feel the connection to, and the knowledge of our history becomes more and more important. This elemental concept of the “keystone” was the literal foundation of ancient architecture, government and civilization. Reinterpreting it with a contemporary approach, gives me a connection to and sense of continuity with the past.
