Welcome. I invite you to enjoy and inquire about the images and thoughts on various bodies of work. Be sure to visit my blog:
I hope it will communicate some of the meaningful images, places and people in my world and give you insight into my work.
NEWS FLASH!!I'm currently traveling, writing, exploring, soaking up the life and people of London and north Yorkshire. Work is ongoing and ever evolving, with some film and photography projects forthcoming. Trace continues, with new work in progress in the studio. See some images on my blog. |
My work is shaped by my experience in the natural realm - years spent exploring wild places and abandoned urban landscapes - and by a passion for science. Principles of geology, botany, astronomy and physics inform both content and process.
Much of the work investigates change and the act of becoming. I am fascinated with physical transformation in natural phenomena, whether on a geologic time scale or in a moment's reflection. And I am an observer of human behavior and the transformative role of humanity's place in natural historical context.
The physical act of painting as I practice it is driven by exploration, chance, gravity. My process entails building a history of surfaces, forces and materials over time, affecting the dynamics of color, light and form.
