Artist Statement
|
| |
I am a representational oil painter who works in the traditional genres of still life, figure and landscape. I usually paint from life but sometimes create a series of paintings in my studio to explore some aspect of the genre in a specific way. For example, when working in landscape, I did a Coastal series where I used a different perspective to emphasize the underlying organic shapes and patterns found in nature. When working in figure I did a Bathing Beauty series of ordinary people in public places whose unique characteristics spoke volumes about universal human qualities. Currently I am working in still life and enjoy having more control over the lighting, composition, shapes and color relationships in order to reveal the beauty of everyday objects.
