​A new large (48x60) painting has been completed and it's called RIVER RUN. It presents a gorgeous surface to explore along with sumptuous color. It incorporates some fabric, ribbons, and also pieces of tape incorporated into the oil paint and inks. The foundation is modeling paste giving it a deep texture on which the colors can play.

​The paintings on canvas of the last five years, starting with The Colorworks in 2019 and ending with Off Trail present a cohesive display of what has been my visual language and my beliefs concerning art theory and the elements that go into a successful painting.

Survey of paintings 2019-2024

Now it's time to move on to  something new, bringing in fabric and a potpourri of collaged items, often on a layer of mylar laid over the canvas or collage, which increases the depth as well as the intensity of the inks and lacquers. It will be joyous!

Here is a small sample of what is to come- a mixed media piece on mylar over collage entitled Ballerina and a larger collaged painting on mylar entitled Full Moon:
