Artist's Statement:
My paintings are an emotional
response to the landscape,
simplified to express the
serenity of open space and the
weight of the atmosphere, but
also containing a dark
undertone of mystery or loss,
attached to our experience of
nature.
They range from the
contemplative to the dramatic
in mood, drawing the viewer
into the scene as a lone
observer. I de-emphasize
content, preferring that
pictorial objects seem to
merge with the air and the
light, but there is still a
sense of place, time and
season in the paintings.

| Your Personal Biography |
I always drew and painted as a child, but did not major in art as a college student, because I didn't related to abstract expressionism, which was the all-consuming movement at that time. So I became a designer, first in the theater, then in fashion, jewelry and finally, interiors. While running my interior design business for the last twenty years, I spent my spare time in a self-directed pursuit of an art education.
Starting in pastels and proceeding to oil painting, I have been observing the landscape and painting in both a representational style, and lately, an abstract interpretation. Now I'm starting to understand what was happening back in the fifties and sixties! I'm lucky that my home in the Hudson Valley of New York has beautiful natural surroundings and the strong historical tradition of landscape painting, as well as great places to study. I've worked at the Art Students League, National Academy of Design, Woodstock School of Art, and Bard College, and am now a full-time painter. |
