About the Artist

STATEMENT OF CREATIVE INTENT







I have found Maine & New England to be a complicated, unique and beautiful
place to live and paint. Historically, the well-depicted pictorial “iconography” of
this region continues to inspire artists, and in particular, myself. It is this
experience that I wish to convey in my new series of works entitled, “New Maine
Perspectives” and “Nature Stories.”
Although this series is painted realistically and the images are made up of
representations of objects from the daily things of living and use the painterly
conventions of still-life, landscape, pattern and color, the images break away
from conventional realism and the creation of a recognizable, three-dimensional
space.
The dynamics of “real” space within the two-dimensional format is
changed, by skewing the scale of objects, altering “correct” perspective and by
using random or multiple placement of images.
The works are made deliberately over-size and are visually complex. This
adds to their impact.
The visual narrative and commentary is also injected with a deliberate
humor, whimsy and in some pieces, art-historical reference--for example, in
---”Fisherman’s Friend”---what we are seeing when we look out of the window in
the “curious” living room, is a very well-known painting by Winslow Homer
entitled “The Fog Warning.”
In the “ Olson House” the image draws on the very real setting made
famous by Andrew Wyeth’s painting “Christina’s World.”
“No Trespassing” is a deliberate reminder of the fragility of our unique
ecological environment.
“Nature Stories:Target” reminds us of our responsibility to creatures other
than ourselves in our natural world.
The work is representative of explorations of my own artistic
“Regionalism,” bringing a greater understanding of the unique environment and
experience that is particular to New England.
