Artist Statement:
The viewer of a painting,
drawing or print is an active
participant in a conversation
between the artist's imagery
and his/her own experiences
and desires. In presenting
the viewer with images, an
artist can create either an
adverse or positive reaction,
depending upon the formal and
cognitive qualities of what is
placed on the canvas, and upon
his (the artist's)
understanding of the range of
social and societal experience
the viewer brings into the
equation.

the use of color and the
simplification of form to set
up an intuitive conversation,
where color, shape and spatial
inter-relationships work
together to elicit an
emotional and psychological
response. Beginning with
extremely simplified landscape
imagery, where space and light
are defined by strong color
relationships and forms by
broad areas and stripes of
vibrant color, in the late
1960's and early 1970's I
carried this approach into
both painted canvases and
single-plate color etchings
and milling-machine
engravings.
My recent work is on a more
accessible scale than former
large shaped canvas
assemblages (6' X 12').
Beginning with similar imagery
with variations to suit the
expressive intent, they rely
on coloristic ...
