Painting the essentials: light and mood.
|
I paint landscapes that explore margins of atmosphere and form and
the interplay between imaginary and real places.
Like the point between dream and waking, subtle edges of earth and
water, tree and sky, dissolve and reappear, caught at that moment
when boundaries are undetermined and reality is malleable.
Beginning with underpainting, I modulate the intensity of light that
spreads from the center of the canvas. Lines and shapes are defined
and then partially obscured. Layer is painted over layer, resulting in
unexpected gradations and tones. Elusive shapes are muted by fog or
shadow. Imagination’s alchemy transforms the recognizable into
delicately nuanced layers of color and tone, to gently invoke mystery,
sensation, and mood.
