RECENT WORK
Since early 2007 I have been working on
series dealing with the low country and
environmental issues. Though the
subject changes the style of work has an
ongoing concern for the material and
surface of the work.

I am drawn to the spaces expressed as
secondary whenever we build, the places
that lie between.

CITY SERIES
For six years I lived in New York and
then moved for twelve years to a rural
setting. I have spent over forty years of
my life in various, amazing, vital urban
constructs. These paintings explore
that world.

During this ongoing transition from life

LANDSCAPE
The remembered experience of a
natural vista is a blend of the visual
and the visceral to produce something
more than a simple record of a
particular place.

PASSAGE SERIES
This series of paintings is about the
ritual and the formal aspects of
change. I pay particular attention to
people and places that are emblems
of catharsis.

RUSSIA
In October of 2001 we went on a
previously scheduled tour of Russian
river towns. It was cold and beautiful
and the people of Russia extended
great sympathy to us as Americans
and were so grateful that we would be
interested in their country.

TUSCANY
These paintings are the result of a
painting sabbatical on a tenuta in the
Alta Merse River Valley. The history,
color and light entered my work and
my life.

ABOVE CORTANA'S
My first memories are of my little
bedroom in a Park Slope cold water
flat in Brooklyn, New York. It was a
closed off hall with a window on each
end, no heat, and no electricity. The
youth bed was marvelous with a ship
carved into the headboard.

These paintings are an exploration of the
low country in an abstract format. They
speak of the low country experience rather
than its representation.

Seeking Refuge
These paintings use the horizontal format as
a springboard to explore the moods of the
salt marshes surrounding Savannah.
