About this artwork
Cycladic stone chipped figures observed at the Museum are very small in scale yet are boundless in meditative space.
The figure at upper left in this canvas is a drawing completed from memory that shocked my senses with the idea that the original… marble dated 2000 years old, appeared to be a modern piece of artwork.
In the painting I immersed myself in concept as a cave painter, making incomprehensible, but personal marks based on personal symbols, and the scrawling of records on a wall recording elemental life forces.
Colors in the canvas are subtle and representative of the "hot and dry" desert like qualities of landscape at the equator, also containing quiet references to DeKooning's "flesh is the reason".

« Fight through the storm. The sun will surely appear in radiance. »
My studio practice is fueled by aerial perspectives, spontaneous accidents, and deliberate risk-taking. Recent residencies from Nantucket to Wyoming have deeply infused my work with the unique light and culture of dramatically different environments. When I am not painting or teaching at the Providence Art Club, Danforth Museum, and New Art Center, I find inspiration in world travel, classical music, and the outdoors.
The award-winning work I create is represented by Saatchi Art, Singulart, and Gallery Twist, and is held in private and public collections across the US and Europe.
