“I make paintings of the landscape. Based on memory and informed by observation, I build my paintings both swiftly and often slowly. With several paintings in process at once and using many layers of paint I develop a sense of light and space that is palpable. I use oil and acrylic based paint on panel and canvas. I have spent many years researching various, and often overlooked approaches to color theory for the painter, including the work of Denman Waldo Ross, Frank Morley Fletcher, and Nathaniel Johnson’s “Modular Color” system. I am a student of Art History and am committed to the craft of painting. I have developed a methodology of using oil paints in a solvent free manner, using specially formulated linseed oils.”
