New Work

After a 30 year career making realist paintings I have transitioned to abstraction.

Working on raw, unstretched canvas with fluid acrylics and a limited palette, I build depth and movement through layers, composition, contrast, and value. I am intensely interested in the beauty of paint in its liquid state- how it flows, merges, and reacts, leaving behind marks both intentional and accidental.

My process is physical- I rub and scrape the paint into the canvas. Though my work has shifted away from representation, its core remains the same: an exploration of depth, movement, and the interplay between control and surrender. I am painting about memory and history- the layers speak to me about things which are hidden, or obscured, vague and unfocused, as well as things that are revealed, remembered and cherished.
