Artist Statement:
My focus is on the urban
landscape. I look to capture
the complexity of the city
with its
layering of history, meaning
and function. Many of my
paintings deal with elements
of movement and transition
such as bridges, trains,
highways and rivers.
I work in pastel as it affords
me maximum immediacy, color
intensity and textural
richness. The fragility and
purity of pastel gives a
unique working experience.
I work primarily from
imagination of remembered
scenes, sensations and
desires. I start with a line
drawing and add blocks of
color and tone as I progress.
My works main concern is with
the urban environment and its
attendant qualities of
seriality, mystery and
implacability. I seek to
reflect on the raw
functionalism of the American
landscape and its non-spaces.
The human relationship to
these spaces is
stressed in my work by
revealing the need for
projection, escapism and
fantasy, when confronted by
such indifferent surroundings.
