Inner Landscapes


My newest series “Inner Landscapes” is the result of my taking what I know, color, and combining it with the media I have become most comfortable with, metal. There is no paintbrush used, rather the image emerges as a relationship between my memory and the material being used. For this reason I call the metal paintings “Inner Landscapes”.

This series is dedicated to my favorite art professor and well-known watercolorist Bruce McGrew who advised “Don’t paint the light, paint what the light does.”

Stuff and Things

People often come to the gallery and say. “I love your stuff”. Although I know the customer is always right, I try to gently offer, “I prefer to think I’ve created nice things. The world is too full of stuff.”
