Artist Statement

As an urban landscape artist I am historically preserving a quickly disappearing piece of American history!!! As travelers on the open roads of America signs lured us to new places as the American culture grew. These new places in turn introduced us to hotels, motels, diners, movie houses and even trolleys and trains. I travel the infamous road of Route 66 and the not so well known highways to collect the information to create my paintings as I record these significant and nostalgic parts of American history that may not, in many cases, be shared with the upcoming generations.
