It's evident that my profound connection to urban density and my
artistic interpretation of cityscapes have deep roots in my personal
history and upbringing. My father would take us kids to construction
and development sites. I was exposed to building structures way before
I approached it from an artistic perspective. I witnessed first hand
the development of my fathers first major residential development as
well as his own residence from paper plans though construction.
Witnessing the evolution of this along with other neighborhoods
undoubtedly imprinted upon me a deep appreciation for the complexity
and the dynamic nature of urban landscapes. In fact our family home
built in 1959, holds historical significance and is included in the
Wisconsin Historical Society Architecture and history Inventory further
emphasizing the legacy of my families involvement in shaping the built
environment.
My keen eye for the interplay of elements such as color, shape, shadow,
and size within these urban landscapes speaks to my ability to perceive
the aesthetic potential in the very structures that once captivated me
during my childhood explorations. My unique perspective shaped by my
familial experiences and artistic sensibilities allows me to breath new
life into the neighborhoods I encounter capturing their essence in a
way that reflects both their historical significance and contemporary
allure.
