The work in this gallery is acrylic based. The paintings are shown in reverse chronological order – the most recent paintings are at the top of each section. There are collections of realist and abstract works. I like both – I paint both. Many of these paintings are available for sale. Please contact me for information.

 

“Focused Looking & Translation”  I enjoy really looking. The act is relaxing. The translation of what I’m studying helps to push my perception and discover more that the details.

“Land and Sky”  This series of paintings started with a painting I dreamt I painted.  I’ve developed the initial concept further by exploring structure, colour and mood. The dreamt paintings rarely give clues to their origins – Land and Sky 1 is an exception. I’ve always been interested in geologic formations and how the weather creates and alters them over time and this is the basis of the “Land and Sky” series.

“Dreamt Work”  These pieces are based on paintings I’ve dreamt I’ve painted. Many of them  are highly textured, some have carved elements and most like dreams are open to interpretation.

“Still Life”  These still lifes have a textured background and the objects are painted on smooth plaster. Often the shadow under the objects in emphasized by the physical line between the object and the ground. The stories they tell are suggested by the relationships of the objects.

“Still Life 2” These still lifes are also highly textured and very smooth. The objects were gathered from the mountain fire lookout and surrounding area that I worked at from 2016-19.
