About the Artist

I usually paint using mixed-media on wood panels, because I like the sturdiness of the support. It has to withstand rather vigorous applications of paint alternating with scraping back the layers.

I start with an overall feeling of the color I want to achieve. I prefer earth tones and simple color statements so as not to overwhelm the texture. I prefer a complex and deeply-layered surface. I focus on the nuances of light and transition at the boundary or horizon where elements meet.

I keep in my mind, personal physical tactile experiences. Painting aids remembering and vice versa. I keep in my mind, for example, the feeling of a rock. I don't mean just the tactile experience of rubbing a fingertip against a stone, but also the warmth of a large boulder or patch of earth that has soaked up the heat of the sun. That heat is transferred to the body just as light is reflected. I don't want to take this transfer for granted.

Why this connection is important has to do with healing. It seems that I can strive to recreate the experience of having been energized at a time when there were no limits to my ability to accept.

For a while, I gave my paintings names. The names were places to which I was connecting from memory. I liked the mystery in the sound of the names as you say them. Many were Native American names for areas along the Atlantic Coast where I returned again and again in my life.

I've since realized, however, that I am not painting the location, but rather, the sensation. I paint my experience of connection to land and elemental forces. So I gave up the names that didn't belong to me in favor of a method of documenting the paintings strictly for reference. This personalizes them for me and helps with keeping the meaning and the memory authentic.

No.07

2007
mixed-media on wood panel

36 x 48 inches I wish the entire painting could be just the horizon, but I needed both areas of color to achieve that subtlety of place. I find strength in the intersections of different elements. This painting needs to be 6' x 8'

No.29

2007
mixed-media on canvas

36 x 60 x 1 inches I really strived to express opposites here. I wanted substance to practically glow against absence.

No.10

2007
mixed-media on wood panel

30 x 42 inches There is a certain comfort in the way that the air feels on your skin in locations near the sea. It's heavy with water but it's like a caress, even after the sun has gone down.

No.17

2007
mixed-media on wood panel

28 x 40 inches Like the others, this is a memory. This keeps coming back to me in a pleasurable dream of water and a shoreline.

No.22

2007
mixed-media on wood panel

10 x 24 inches The surface is much like granite in color. I will paint it again, but the support will be a broken slab of much larger wood with irregular edges and a much more aged semblance.

No.36

2007
mixed-media on linen

30 x 42 inches There was a fine line between giving this the appearance of earth and making it too metallic seeming. I am reasonably pleased with the result.

No.21

2007
mixed-media on wood panel
18.25 x 24 inches

This painting has quite a bit of depth and rich clay-red coloring within hundreds of glazed layers.

No.38

2007
mixed-media on wood panel
106.7 x 76.2 cm

No.38
42 x 30 inches. I like the strength of the vertically oriented horizon.
