Artist Statement:
These paintings represent my
emotional response to the
natural environment in which I
circulate. They begin as pure
abstraction. However, based
upon color choices and the
means of paint application to
various supports, the
landscape image starts to
emerge. The walls of my studio
are covered with landscape
photographs, along with
reproductions of works by
Bonnard, Cezanne, Medieval
Artists, and contemporary
painters. Each of these
demonstrates an influence. But
the dominant force is the
paint itself. That’s why I
have named one of my series of
paintings “Emerging Scapes”.
The picture content emerges
from the form.
In an attempt to convey my
experience of viewing the sky,
vegetation, or water, I
sometimes piece together
panels, and/or canvases. The
geometry of the glued supports
reflect my urban environment.
Other times, painting just a
single view suffices.
Currently, I have been
juxtaposing the geometry of
door or building surfaces
against the landscapes viewed
from my window. Each of my
paintings are connected by the
landscape content that emerges
from the paint.
