Fine Art- Urban Landscapes in oil- including "Imagining Evanston" Series (Museum Prints & Consignment available)
"These images serve as a historical account of the Howard Corridor into Southeast Evanston. I challenge myself to “re-imagine” the urban landscape forcing an aggressive 2-point perspective, choosing a “retro” inspired palette to block in the shapes and employing turn-of the century glazing techniques to draw out the sense of warmth and shadow."
