ARTIST STATEMENT (RÉSUMÉ follows)

 

I move paint around on canvas, adding and subtracting, until the forms that are the conceptual matrices and patterns underlying conscious experience emerge.  I step aside and let that process happen, allowing the painting to breathe and reveal its internal structures and symbols.

 

At the heart of my work is a concern with our conflicted relationship with nature, and the choices we can make to change course. 

 

My work is informed by a lifelong love affair with mountains, trees, snow, moonrises and sets, wildlife, and storms.  I spend a good deal of time in the wilderness.  My paintings reach for the mythic and are grounded in a sense of place.

 

I am fortunate to have studied painting with Sam Scott.  He taught me to see seasonal color, to be fearless in painting my vision of nature, and to embrace beauty.  

 

I work in oils, and sometimes in watercolors, with the highest quality and least toxic materials available.  I gather lightning-struck charcoal in the mountains.  I paint on museum quality high-density panels made from US grown and renewable aspen. The 1/8 inch deep surface is acid-free, non-yellowing, and sits in a 2-inch deep hand-crafted cradle of premium-grade 13-ply birch plywood, for maximum stability and a clean edge.
