"In the Grove" was loosely based on an old blurry photo I took probably 30 years ago. The shape and motion of the Instruments are energizing and lyrical. The back ground is a fantasy scape of the city at night.

Artist Statement:

I’ve picked-up on thoughts, challenges and beauty that I’d left in my mental shed for years. Some as benign as a still life, others that are meant to tell a story. All of which I hope will register emotionally and aesthetically. I’ve found that it is important to show evidence of process in my work. It tells a sub-story of development leaving traces of the past, the scars and joys that have passed.
