“The tidal waters are endlessly
fascinating to me. The water forever travels back and forth.
I love to float on these shimmering highways, surrendering to
their gentle current, letting them take me where they please.”

Artist’s
Statement:
Before I embarked on my adventure in painting, I asked an artist
I respected for his thoughts on where to begin and how to to approach
a painting. His best advice: don’t try to paint a feeling or specific
emotion. Just paint. The emotional quality will come through.
Keeping this in mind, I began to paint my surroundings, the wild
beaches of Truro in particular, en plein aire. I studied with fine
artists connected to the long tradition of painting and art-making
on the Cape including Robert Henry, a student of Hans Hofmann,
and Fine Arts Work Center Fellows Jim Peters, Bert Yarborough and
Richard Baker. Through them I learned to explore materials, free
myself from the constraints of representing the real world and
work in a more expressive way, responding to color and composition
and creating work from both understanding and emotion. I am also
particularly influence by the Bay Area Figurative Movement including
painters David Park, Wayne Thiebaud and Richard Diebenkorn.
My recent work is an exploration of painting with encaustic wax,
one of the oldest forms of painting. The technique allows me to
build and remove textured layers of color, transparency, and pigments.
Keeping true to that first piece of advice, I try to focus on the
joy of creating, and also painting with honesty. My hope is that
the resulting layers create not only intriguing and beautiful surfaces,
but also give emotional life to the subjects, whether figures,
structures, or boats, and hint at the mystery inside.
