This is a collection of works that lead from my undergraduate work and transitions into my current work. Frustrations with early painting lead me to adopt a technique learned by the late Steven Cuiqui, where photography, digital technology, and painting come together. Eventually I realized I wanted to come back to full painting, but by that time photography had and will continue to be an integral stage in my work. Themes such as labor,the changing western landscape, and the loss of time have always been a large part of my work. Of course there is the obvious change from land to seascapes. I see it as focusing on the positive things in my life instead of being a whiny little cynic, aww who am I kidding? I'm still a whiny little cynic.
