The landscape does a dance, puts on a show and begs to be painted. I've got my eye on the motion of plants and ecosystems – the cluster of the species and the motion of the leaves and water, the design of the flowers and foliage... the sun playing with shadows, foggy or parched... the flight of the seeds seeking home. For people who love a place as I do, my impressions are meant to share a favorite place.
I use gestural marks, fluid strokes and chimerical layers to capture the inherent motion in a place. A focal point is usually distributed like the riddle on where to rest your gaze, like the transient nature of the plants. This art lives in a place between observation and meditation. Pushing carbon dust, graphite, and ink and pulling oil, acrylic, watercolor, pastel and pixels, I move between digital and analog. The interpretation of a place through my brush is about how a place seems to move at a time of day, a time of year, a time of life. These artworks are created in the wake of an exciting thirty-year career spanning network TV, corporate audio visual animation, design and art direction of interactive CD ROM and DVD productions, film, video, interface design and planning of travel and navigation software for Rand McNally and mobile strategy for Motorola. I am happy to be back to painting. |
