My paintings depict spaces and people captured via public Internet webcams. I am interested in technology’s impact on our public and private lives and the voyeuristic aspect

of webcam media. I am also intrigued by my ability to depict situations “live” without physically being there. I like using this technology to put a contemporary spin on working with traditional mediums and subject matter such as portraiture, genre scenes and the landscape.
