STOREFRONT & GALLERY 65 BEARSKIN NECK ROCKPORT, MA 01966
The painting process is comprised of pools of paint that are layered over and over again ending in large ribbons of color and texture intertwined to achieve an energetic color field. The process from start to finish can reveal pouring pools of pigment onto the canvas mimicking forms in nature such as puddles, the moving tide, melting ice, intersections of rock and more.
The outdoor series reflects the same technique but in the landscape itself where I drag un-stretched canvas to various edges of the earth and use the ridges of the ground underneath to direct unexpected marks. I may then take these pieces and re-work them in the studio - stretch them- cut them- sometimes leave them as raw as possible.
The print series are cropped images taken from larger pieces that are in progress. The paint might appear to still be wet, the canvas might be folded around a rock leaving the image mysterious to what it might be. Close up shots of interacting paint may appear similar to an aerial shot mountain tops or bodies of water.
I live and work on the Northshore of MA & create mostly at my studio at 67A Bearskin Neck in Rockport, MA.
