About the Artist

My main interest is in color. I have always been fascinated by how we percieve color and have been exploring ways of enhancing or intensifying color.

Horizon Series #15

1994
Oil on Canvas
40.6 cm X 50.8 cm

The Horizon Series explores our natural tendancy to interpret a horizontal line as a horizon. Using minimalized suggestions of sky, land, and water, these works are meant to evoke a nonspecific time and place while evoking a specific mood.

Horizon Series # 3

1993
Oil on Canvas
40.6 cm X 50.8 cm

The Horizon Series explores our natural tendancy to interpret a horizontal line as a horizon. Using minimalized suggestions of sky, land, and water, these works are meant to evoke a nonspecific time and place while evoking a specific mood.

RGB Series # 14

2006
Acrylic on Canvas
91.4 cm X 61 cm

Using only tints of red, green, and blue, this painting demonstrates how oranges, yellows, cyans, and magentas can be created optically at a distance from the canvas.

RGB Series # 4

2005
Oil on Canvas
61 cm X 51.8 cm

This painting uses tints of red, green, and blue to optically produce yellows, oranges, cyans, and magentas at a distance. The reds on the top of the painting are the same as the reds on the bottom, yet the bottom reds appear more orange. The illusion of yellows and oranges can be seen near the middle of this work.

Matrix Series # 8

2005
Oil on Canvas
121.9 cm X 91.4 cm

In this painting a gradient is broken into rectagles that are then further discected by diagonal lines.

Matrix Series # 4

2005
Oil on Canvas
147.3 cm X 116.8 cm

Three vertical gradients emerge from a horizontal plane of apparent light. This entire surface is fasceted into 5.1 cm. squares.

Gradient Series # 40

2004
Oil on Canvas
147.3 cm X 116.8 cm

A horizontal gradient gives rise to two vertical gradients that are flanked by deminishing versions of themselves.

Gradient Series # 44

2005
Oil on Canvas
127 cm X 96.5 cm

Horizontal and vertical gradients interconnect, overlap and relate to each other.
