My paintings feature a unique Seattle icon, the orange container cranes stations at Seattle’s waterfront. Part figure, part machine and part archetype, the crane is for me a symbol of personal strength. At the same time, my paintings of the cranes generate a universal appeal, as the cranes are such a prominent feature of our waterfront. –Artist statement
