My paintings are about color. Most of us resonate to sights like the late afternoon sun glistening on snow, or a garden of colorful flowers. I paint with colors abstracted from material objects, simply enjoying the relationships of color.
A contemplative quality is also central to my works. My paintings are an invitation to look, observe, and to be with the universe of the painting and the interacting colors presented. The present is a fleeting moment of time. My paintings are an invitation to slow down and simply be. When viewers leave, I hope they will take that attention out into the world. My art invites us to slowdown and be with the beauty that is all around us.
We live in perilous times, and we need beauty to provide us respite, strength, and courage for the journey.
These are acrylics on canvas: 30"x30", 24"x30", and some 20"x24". Some smaller works on paper can be seen at the website linked from this page, as well as a selection of paintings in private collections across the country.
