Aesthetics

The radiance of nature is audible.  So, I listen with my heart and paint what I hear.  Dreams filled with rich music and color inspire me to paint natural songs.  My landscapes painted in the abstract, rich in texture and emotion attune us with the sun, wind, water and earth.  Each painting whispers a glimpse of an intelligent and relentless churning of life.  I accomplish this work in a high process of orchestrated color, mixing finely ground semi-precious stones in raw pigment, balancing hues and earth tones, melting and re-melting beeswax and sap from Indonesian trees, watercolor and oil, polymer and burnt peat from the bogs of Ireland to rest on wood, canvas or paper.  Restless or tranquil, a complete chronology of my work can be viewed at the Gallery.
