I enjoy taking early-morning walks on the beaches of Long Island Sound.  During these walks, I know I will see the same water, the same sand, and the same ever-present lighthouse.  Through the eyes of a colorist and painter, however, each day is a different “picture;” the natural elements of the environment affect the constants, transcending the solid objects themselves into something more.

Each day, when I reach the summit of the dune, I know I will see a new seascape; a new world.  There is a wonderful feeling of anticipation and surprise that I look forward to and treasure.

My intent is to bring this quality of change to my artwork.  The objects I paint are not defined solely by solid segmented areas, but by layers of translucent colors.  These color relationships vary in reaction to the light of a particular day, time, or season.  I encourage the placement of my landscapes in environments that will allow natural light to interact with the canvas’s surface.

I invite you to look at my paintings: pausing to allow them in, and coming back later — then later again — to see what has transpired.
