Artist Statement:
My current work comes from my
current 3 year residency in
the South Pacific rainforest
of Costa Rica.
I have titled the series
"Overlooking the
Underworld...Tales from the
Costa Rican Rainforest”
I began by hiking/wandering
through the jungle, collecting
rain water for my medium. I
then put down small watercolor
sketches while trying to be as
quiet and unobtrusive as
possible and document the
dynamic movement of life in
the rainforest. I took these
sketches back to my studio,
and through abstraction
created this series of small
watercolors. I wound up with
about 150 pieces. After
editing, I have 19 works I’d
like to expand. To accomplish
this, I need to return to the
states and use these small
works as the catalyst for big
paintings on canvas.
My plan is to return to the
San Francisco Bay area, rent a
studio and start painting
these visions, Big Big Big!!!
I am trying to get funding for
this project to cover studio
space and supplies. I am using
1 year as my target for
completing the project.
I hope to provide a pathway
through these abstractions so
others can feel and share my
experience of the time ...
