- Biographical Information
- Western landscapes have been a continual source of imagery in my work since I moved to the Northwest in 1977. I seek to express the monumental awe and transcendent nature of the land on an intimate and personal scale. The once-architecturally inspired abstract forms that reflected the experience of living in the New York area have been transformed over time into the architectonic shapes of western rock formations and the openness of the seemingly infinite space. Light is used as an element that creates a sense of expectancy--a waiting for some drama to unfold--with the viewer being the solitary witness to that event and time. The leafed area surrounding the central drawing or painting is an integral part of each artwork and provides a separation between the interior image and the outside world in much the same way as medieval artists used gold leaf as "light materialized." I have an eclectic interest in design and have been influenced by the repetitive structures and motifs of Italian Renaissance decorative arts, Native American art, and Byzantine mosaics.
