Each city has its own unique footprint on Earth. City footprints are expressed as city maps, which are abstractions of reality. I am fascinated that every city on earth is unique, each shaped over time by ever changing complex events. I am fascinated by the wide variety of unique organic and geometric shapes that city maps and aerial views display. I paint what I know about the city as an architect and my feelings about the city as an artist. As I paint a city I express the city’s essence.
