ARTIST'S STATEMENT:

I paint to evoke the passage of time, the movement of light, the joys and insights of the shifting relationships of the spaces that I see. My studies of the world around me began as quite literal landscapes, but as I have developed my conceptual techniques, I have expanded my horizons to wider range of subject matter.

I paint in oils on canvas in my studio. I also work outside directly from nature in oil stick on 140 lb watercolor paper. In addition to working in the endless variety of the Maine landscape, I have had the opportunity to document landscapes in New Mexico, Ireland and Nova Scotia.

Walking has a huge impact on my life. I have built a 1/2 mile long public installation, a labyrinth in my hay field, to share my experience. (see Creating a Labyrinth: an Artist's Path)
