My 20-years of painting, mostly oil on canvas, is founded in engineering, not fine arts. The path to picking up a brush was learning geometry and graphing in school, doing system diagrams at work, lots doodling in corporate meetings, and finally entering a store for a blank canvas. Having a non-zero amount of autism, a common thing in engineering, my work shows the world through that lens. 

The work is typically strictly composed and emotionally close to neutral. It is unashamedly beautiful in an austere way. I try to give the things I paint an aura of thoughtfulness. I hope that this calm speaks through the paintings.
