Statement
My collection, "Serenity,” features oil paintings of beautiful Monmouth County and often Freehold, my hometown.
This motif lends itself easily to one of the goals of my work- to give viewers a scene to get lost in, one that connects with the ageless part of themselves.
As a representative landscape painter, my attention is often drawn to the transition of light, where is the light hitting and missing, contracting or expanding. To me, the movement of the sun indicates the passage of time and the transient nature of beauty and life.
I usually work in my studio from plein air studies. I spend hours scouting out drama in simple places. Indoors, I get lost in the Zen of color mixing and the math of composition. Glazes and scumbling allow the viewer to look into, as well as upon, the composition. My paintings often have six or eight layers and can take several weeks to complete.
My goal in all my work is to impart a sense of tranquility and security and, like a fleeting childhood memory, to trigger a sense of intuitive belonging and nostalgia.
