In this new series of work, I employ salvaged sheet metal to create work that evokes the memory of Chicago's farmland roots on formed remnants of today's industrialized world. I build up surfaces on formally constructed found metal “canvases” to reflect the struggle of savage and urbane forces and to illustrate the influence humankind has over the land.

What is at the core of the choices we make? My paintings address a search for belonging as our world becomes more constructed and artificial. As we invariably pursue what is new in our world my work attempts to recover a spiritual reclamation that comes when we allow the Earth to reclaim its place for coming generations.

When I work I start with simple landscapes, then I incorporate poems I have written or phrases into the painting. In my most recent work I use bold letter-forms over scenes of recognizable landmarks. I play on advertising with the look of postcards from the ‘30s and ‘40s. There is a Pop Art feel to these pieces. We are surrounded by a melee of commercial images today, and to have my work be influenced by this mass media seems natural.
