About this artwork
Whilst staying over Christmas in Montevideo, Uruguay, I would walk along the river's promenade. The Plata is so wide, that one cannot see the other side (Buenos Aires). I loved hanging out there, watching the waves break against the rocky shore. Swallows darted in the breeze, and there was always a line of black cormorants resting at water's edge. The water is silty after its long, muddy voyage down from Paraguay & Brazil. Its waters are not polluted—people… were swimming—though the chocolate colored water didn't beckon to me.
I am an American with dual citizenship living in France. Before devoting myself to painting, I worked as an art director. I’ve been myopic since childhood. The vagueness of shapes that loom in and out of focus has always intrigued me. An indefinite outer world can create an inner world of clarity. I continually find, and tease out, meaning from what at first glance appears arbitrary. This could be described as the reverse of abstraction. I am primarily self-taught, an education supplemented by many workshops. I paint on wood or MDF panels. I apply thin layers of transparent glazes for the luminosity they effect. Oil paint provides sensuous color so, although I also paint in watercolour, it is my preferred medium. My subject matter is always those people, animals and landscapes which have evoked a strong emotion in me. Through their representation, I try to capture the fleeting moments of beauty I have experienced in those encounters, where the essence of something is revealed to me.
