Artist's Statement:
Growing up in a beautiful part
of the world, the Pacific
Northwest, has been a
grounding for my appreciation
of my present surroundings
clear across the country, in
the Hudson Valley of New York.
My response to the beauty of
the landscape is an elegy for
our loss of untouched innocent
countryside, and a fusion of
atmosphere and solidity to
heighten the serenity I feel
in being in nature.
In order to avoid being
sentimental or manipulative, I
find myself focussing more on
the painting process than on a
realistic portrayal. I let
the paint itself stand in for
the subject. It could be the
dry brushing of the particles,
to indicate the mystery and
frailty of the image in the
atmosphere. Or slathering,
scraping, eroding the lost
color buried in layers. The
perspective shifts, losing or
distorting the horizon,
sometimes flying out to aerial
views.
Although striving for a
distillation of my initial
responses to the mystery of a
scene, I continue to begin a
painting with a
representational sketch or
photo reference, then let the
dram, the light and the season
give their direction to the
conceptualization of the
painting process.
