“If you could say it in words there would be no reason to paint.” – Edward Hopper

This body of work endeavors to honor the urban landscape, with a particular focus on Knoxville’s Old City. A variety of methods, artistic processes, and subjects are presented, but the aim is singular — to offer an exploration of this corner of downtown. I peeked around corners, stood in doorways, walked sidewalks (and railroad tracks), on a personal scavenger hunt. There is pleasure and surprise in the search; in the seeing, and what I found was new perspectives, tensions,contradictions… the reflection of a scruffy exterior and the pulse of a steady heartbeat within.
