Hotels are a microcosm.  In my many years of travel, having spent countless
days and nights in accommodations spanning the full spectrum from luxury to
decrepitude, I have increasingly recognized the hotel as a crucible.  Human
emotion and interaction seem to be distilled, amplified, magnified, and
intensified in this setting.  I've experienced or been witness to sweet bliss,
desperate loneliness, mind-numbing boredom, ecstatic joy, and unfettered
sexuality - all on display in the close confines and forced intimacy of the
hotel's guest rooms and public spaces.  

These paintings capture flashes of these emotions and intimate settings,
while including a bit more context and setting than are usually found in my
work.
