About the Item

Evoking a sense of place, a heightened sense of atmosphere and cultural influences, my paintings are an allusion to landscape, a suggestion of place based on color and sensory details. I am influenced not only by the natural world of each place I venture, but especially by the material culture; fabrics, designs that are ubiquitous to each place. I employ broad gestural brushstrokes as I layer the many colors of paint in response to the rich, vibrant colors found in each culture. Working intuitively allows me to discover and explore the canvas as I discover each new place. Like travel, it is a physical process. I rotate the canvas until a cohesive composition is found. Using oil paint, cold wax, gold metallic paint and glaze, I am continually adding texture to develop the pictorial space as I work the painting deeper onto the canvas, creating a multi-layered composition of light, balance and harmony.
‍
I am deliberate in my choice of colors, from the gold Buddhas of Thailand, to the gold ground of Byzantine France, to the simmering reds of the Renaissance. All my color choices reflect my global journeys and my desire to recreate these sensations visually.
