Artist's Statement
"My work, regardless of subject matter, is characterized by large, bold brushwork, and vibrant, rich color. My interest, as an abstract colorist is in the painting process, and specifically the challenge of expressing emotion through the language of color, texture, movement and line. My work is about the paint; the color; the interactions; and the energy to create marks that are authentic. Having lived in Alaska most of my life, I am inspired by the beauty and power of the natural environment. The poppies entered my work about 11 years ago, and it so happens to be the wild flower in the Chickasaw Nation from which I am a citizen."

Artist's Statement
"These paintings are my attempt to capture some of the natural beauty and scenic landscapes that surround us here in Alaska. I use acrylic paint for my work, and paint on canvas, paper and wood. Most of my paintings are done with many thin, wet layers of vibrant colors. I try to replicate the contrast of wildness and pattern that I see in nature. I love painting the things I see while out enjoying the outdoors- a beach sunset, a fall moonrise, a winter's night sky, changing weather, wildflowers, or the mushrooms and berries I discover in the forest."

The Distant and the Familiar

In Jeff's Front Yard, oil on canvas, 30" x 24" $1,450

Artist's Statement
"Intimate spaces continue to capture my attention as subject matter. Much of my past work has emphasized my direct experience with these places. Over time, the way I gather information and utilize it has changed, with influences from digital technology and life circumstances playing a larger role. My recent work has come about through an iterative process, with degrees of removal and distance.
The subject matter is as much the paint and process as it is a sense of place. Familiarity with the landscape allows me to become more liberated in the painting process. Intentionally distancing myself from the visual cues of the original reference material through numerous studies and digital manipulation allows visceral memory to play an important role in the finished painting. I explore the dimension of the picture plane through layering and mark-making – losing and finding, concealing and revealing, adding and subtracting. Edges play against each other, and the ambiguity of figure/ground develops atmosphere. Thus, the painting becomes an artifact that is a record of process. This method of working leaves room for interpretation.
The content of my current exhibit, with a few exceptions, is intimate portraits of trees – birch, aspen, cottonwood, and spruce. This work is heavily influenced by an intense longing for place heightened by the impossibility of travel during a global pandemic. Just as the nuances of familiar sites are revealed with closer looking, I seek to create similar rewards for viewers of my paintings."
“People mistakenly think that art is about nature, or about an artist's feelings about nature. It is instead a path of enlightenment and pleasure, one of many paths, where nature and the artist's feelings are merely raw material.” – Wolf Kahn
