I feel fortunate to have the passion, intellectual facility and technical skills to be able to make things.
My work is “land-based”. The strange, enigmatic phenomenon found in nature that sparked a special curiosity in me as a child continue to be the things that interests me most with regards to the images I make.
I studied painting with Richard Deibenkorn in the shadow of abstract expressionism and have spent most of my career making abstract paintings related to the landscape.
In late spring, 2012 I purchased a full box French easel and proceeded to make small perceptual paintings. I found the activity challenging and I have learned a lot. If there is a truth in the representational work it has to do with time, light and color.
