Oil on Canvas

I live up the road from the water. In all seasons I look, drawn to the light and energy of water, land and sky. Moved by my experience, the paintings are recollections of elemental things filtered through memory: the quality of light where rock meets shore; the changing sky, marsh and grass; some angle of land meeting water, altered only by the moving tides night and day.
One winter night as I looked out my window and saw the frozen landscape illuminated by the moon I knew I had to make a painting. Putting images together and taking them apart, I let the images become resolved with paint. Memory, time and space are part of my vision . In my studio the work becomes a dance between the specificity of the landscape and the language of paint.
