Artist’s Statement
I paint landscapes in oil; sometimes I utilize charcoal and graphite and or water mediums like gouache and acrylic inks.
Noticing nature and my attempts to interpret color, light, temperature and texture are some of the ways I manage loss and celebrate what I have in life.
I came to making art quite late in my life; beginning with life size figurative sculptures in my 50’s. I’ve been painting for about 12 years.
Painting is about some kind of trickery; making lines, creating form, recreating light and darkness, atmosphere. It all dangles just beyond my reach. I press on, regardless, trying to keep up. I paint almost exclusively plein air.
I often get stuck in the same spot on the river or at Silver Lake for months at a time. Trying to understand what I see.
The pieces in this show are from various stops along the way as I try to understand the natural world around me
