Artworks
Direct observation provides the raw material for my paintings and
pastels. Although the original creative spark may come from any
number of sources, working directly with constantly changing light
and color always challenges my preconceived notions while each
picture is in progress. For example, a painting set in motion by a
Degas detail or a Caravaggio contrast or a Taoist idea ends up
grounded in the physical world around me. The object or persons I
am seeing in the moment yield layers of detail and modify the
painting as it develops.
The practice of looking directly makes me aware of the immense
diversity, the constant flow and chaos of life. The process of
condensing the experience as I work reminds me that each of us
(artist and viewers alike) attempts to impose a sense of order on this
chaos.
