Arrival (prairie) | 10 x 30 inches | oil on wood panel | 2009 | more paintings >>

another in a series of paintings
inspired by our backyard prairie
my mind is already turning to spring
like a warm dream returning
of flying

why i paint

“Once something is sketched, it belongs to me and I lovingly arrange it on my painting surface where it is reborn.”

I create paintings about emotional space, shape, color and pattern. With a painterly style, I carefully build up impasto layers, using wet into wet oil paint, and allowing shards of underpainting to show through. Formally, the pieces are about composition, color harmonies, shape, and texture, yet each piece reveals a sensory connection to the landscape around me, and a dynamic interplay between conscious and subconscious thought.
