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. |
