In my paintings, I explore the concept of windows as metaphors. I pay attention to visual phenomena such light, color, and shadows. I am always looking outward, and making sense of the world in my paintings. Sometimes I paint en plein air but when the weather doesn't cooperate, I stay indoors. In this scene, the viewer is looking up and out into the horizon. The layered meanings within each picture plane keeps viewers guessing, projecting their own narratives onto each scene. In my work, the window creates the illusion of depth, whether with pure color or with linear perspective. Regardless of my technique and intention, the window metaphor is open to interpretation.
