Picture making is how we communicate and tell stories universally. Creative thinking created the symbols we use for language, math and science. Picture making is part of being human.

“Ame” painting. Oil paint on wood panel. (H24in x W36in x D1 1 1/2in.)

I work and experiment with the properties of minerals suspended in oil on a substrate. I tend to paint the environment and people most close to me at home or traveling. Painting is a way to freeze the moving picture and develop with paint the intriguing movement and feeling of a stilled subject. I love the physicality of paint and the process of making a painting. There is a primal physicality and an expanding unexplored chemistry to paint that I find intriguing and interesting to explore.

I am also working on a series of paintings mostly of the people and places close to us. The paintings are of our travels to mountains and islands in North and South Carolina. More recently my paintings are inspired by our stays in Japan. I find it intersesting how the land and enviroment shape the personality and behavior of culture.
