About

Statement

The subjects of my paintings are the business signs and store fronts we encounter every day. These signs–mostly neon–are older, neglected, and often only occasionally used. Most people pass these businesses and signs daily without notice. Yet they are an art form in themselves. Often intended for viewing at night, the glow of the neon beckoned passers-by to a place to sleep, eat, to buy their liquor. Viewed in sunlight, these signs can look rough, even awkward. Flaws, peeling paint, and dirt are all revealed.
