In my paintings, I explore the concept of windows as metaphors. I pay attention to visual phenomena such light, color, and shadows. Whether I am looking inside or out, my paintings function as a window between myself and the world. In this scene, the viewer is looking up and out into the horizon. The layered meanings within each picture plane keeps viewers guessing, projecting their own narratives onto each scene. In my work, the window creates the illusion of depth, whether with pure color or with linear perspective. Regardless of my technique and intention, the window metaphor is open to interpretation.
