Artist Statement:
It has been 9 years since I
left teaching design in the
United States to become a full
time painter in France. Each
of those years just seems to
get better and better. I think
that I have done a lot of good
work. My life with a "muse"
gets better by the minute. I
live in France, don't speak
the language and still spend
each day to its fullest.
Artists have throughout
history reflected the times
they live in filtered through
their own experience. I am
doing the same. I am trying
to do paintings that become
the focal point of their
environment and change with
distance and lighting to
constantly intrigue and
interest the viewer.
Hard edged colored shapes have
become my primary vocabulary
to control all aspects of the
painting. As a result, my
paintings change as you change
your viewing distance.
Sometimes they are almost
realistic from a distance. As
you get closer, they evolve
into minute abstractions of
reality that compose almost
fractal geometrical shapes to
enhance the total painting.
Each painting is a record of
my journey through life and
time as I work to refine my
personal voice.
