Artist Statement
The progression of a painter’s work, as it travels in time from point to point will be toward clarity: Toward the elimination of all obstacles between the painter and the idea, and between the idea and the observer.… Mark Rothko
My work has focused on rendering "things" you can't put in your pocket as an expression of silence.
The imagery used include landscape, sky, meditation images and simple markings with an occasional reference to figures.
They are offered for contemplation and meditation.
The Classical Landscape Gallery is a selection of paintings that informed my evolution from traditional realism to the development of non-objective realism. It began my focus on silence.
