Biography
“I look at my paintings as if I am looking across a landscape I could swear I once visited. I walk long distances without moving."
My paintings, drawings and prints derive from the landscapes of my experience. I grew up and live near the ocean and find endless inspiration from the light and weather of New England and the North Atlantic. I'm interested in natural forces and finding some approximation of those forces in color and mark of paint.
Often working at a large scale, I come to the canvas free of preconceptions and open to the possibilities of discovery.
Pictures and images are not the aim so much as an orchestration of color and mark into an illuminated landscape with the resonance of memory. I look at my paintings as if I am looking across a landscape I could swear I once visited. I walk long distances without moving.
It is my aim to probe the depths of an inner space through these meditations in light and color. My work whether in paint or print, is an intimate moment of reflection through image, a search for a deeper connection to place and a consciousness of the present moment.
