Handley stated that “In 2004, I spent the summer painting cityscapes of Ottawa and Detroit while I was attending the College. During that time, I developed my own unique style and technique for painting landscapes. […]I use a very unique style when painting landscapes. My style is based on my experiences as an airbrush artist. This technique is important in my paintings in that all the objects in my paintings appear to have a three dimensional quality to them.”
