Artist Statement...
This is an on-going series creating an atmosphere with the use of color, composition and subject. “A Friday Night” out on the town can show the true art of the bar experience. Capturing the realness of variations of a bartender’s mixology, can paint a beautiful story of how each of them are so unique and different. Taking the time to interact and meet each of them allowed me to see the rawness behind the scenes of their expertise. The different details around a bar can be overlooked and not be considered to the overall experience a person can have. From the beer drafts to the people occupying the space, these are focused details creating a story of each bar within this series.
