Statement
|
|
I am fascinated by the grid that humans impose on the natural world. I abstract this in many of my paintings. I always have a reference to my feelings about the natural world in my mind. I also associate certain pieces of music with some paintings. I also like making accidental drips and then organizing them.
Other thoughts that I have expressed concern personal things. A solo show at Mt. St. Mary's university in Maryland was called "Dualities" and was mostly diptychs expressing the divided nature of my life at the time, between my day job and art.
Recently I have done some painterly realism, imaginary landscapes, and am exploring this more referential set of works dealing with the emotional power of light and dark color. Color is a very important component of my paintings.
I continue to work in series of several paintings on a general theme to develop and explore all possibilities. One series, BLUES, dealt with my reaction to blues music. I have done several series relating to the seasons of the year. (See Winter Dreams, Spring Breaks, Summer Lies and Fall Fades on the CD.)
I work in many painting media, and sometimes cut the canvas and insert painted canvas scraps for a dimensional effect. I sometimes use texturing materials to vary the surface.
