    2021-10-15 18:02:15 UTC

    My work focuses on objects in space and how they interact with the living. In this painting, a tomb-like structure, muted in color but in high contrast, frames the figurative scene within. Three women occupy this space: one in the foreground, painted with soft edges and the same low-chroma palette…

  2. My Adventurous Momento

    2021-05-31 15:14:00 UTC

    Traveling and painting: two of my favorite activities.  It’s true that I paint landscapes, but the ones painted en plein air leave the biggest impact. To sit outdoors with my pochade travel painting box open to the sights, sounds, and smells- that’s the time when decisions speed up and all…

  5. Value Studies as a Base to Interior Scenes

    2019-12-20 17:41:00 UTC

    My work is propelled forward from studying artworks of others. By studying I mean creating a copy of the artwork, and in this case, focusing simply on the value (light/dark).   I’ve been exploring value and its importance in organizing space. This is a quick and fun exercise where I can…
