Artist Statement:
My oil paintings are
meditations triggered by
places or situations in my
memory, arrived at through a
sort of daydreaming state of
mind. I attempt to evoke that
mood in the handling of the
formal elements of the
painting, especially the color
and the perspectival point of
view. I wish to create both a
believable place and the sense
of something more significant
behind it. The viewer, in
contact with the painting and
their own memories, may then
project into the space and
experience the significance
that I sensed.
This approach has led me to an
interest in souvenirs. I see
them as an attempt to capture
a special place or experience
in concrete or symbolic form.
By doing paintings of my own
remembered places and
experiences, I have been
following a parallel path. I
like the comparison with one
purpose of art.
I use borders in some of the
paintings to function
simultaneously as framing
devices and as an arena in
which to create a dialogue
with the internal painting.
The borders also extend the
meaning of the internal
subject. Memories often
consist of simultaneous
kaleidoscopic vignettes that,
in combination, embody the
whole, original experience.
Each vignette is also ...
