Diamond Scholars Research Project 2011


For this project, I'm gaining a better understanding of Swissvale PA by researching oral history of the area and making plein air paintings. Paintings and memories are similar. Unlike hard facts, they are based on subjective experiences and each one is different. By combining paintings and memories, I hope to portray Swissvale in a specific, honest, and in-depth way.

Parking Lot


I made this small painting a very hot and bright afternoon.  This is from the parking lot of Madonna Del Castello Parish.  Many people would walk through the parking lot and stop under this tree for shade.  The man I put in this painting was carrying groceries up the hill.
