Artist Statement:
How can I put painting into
words? There is great freedom
to be discovered within a
canvas. I'm always searching
for a new aesthetic in any
painting and thus never know
where it will end or when. I
often paint several paintings
at once, sometimes diptiches
or triptiches but never the
same thing for too long.
Perhaps when I run out of
interesting
things to paint I'll paint the
same thing over a few times
perhaps but not yet. A lot of
my work is inspired by
beauty of place and I have
travelled quite a lot
searching for inspiration for
new work. Last year I
travelled to
Europe for the first time and
found plenty of inspiration.
Painting Europe is meaning a
lot of Burnt Sienna, theres
more to come ....
......two trips to Europe
later I've done a lot
of photography and opened my
own studio/gallery back in the
US named for my favorite greek
isle Sifnos. Working on 9
works
presently based on my last
trip, but I'm running out of
places to
explore and will have to
explore places found only on
canvas.
I also did a series of plastic
light sculptures ...

to inspire new work my next

galleries to show ...
