Beginning each new year has such possibilities! I’ve been reading Brian Rutenberg’s “Clear Seeing Place, Studio Visits; Mary Gabriel’s Ninth Street Women; along with the incomparable and late Emily Mason, Miles McEnery Gallery Show from NYC. Parlaying between all three, renewing a firm visual of color and its emotive contexts, sweeping gestures from pure abstract to abstract representation, and back again. Reading about those that have come before me give me inspiration, thoughts about process and development of bodies of work, and a keen understanding of placeholders in history that define what we can and do today with art.

In my studio, I’ve recently finished a large commission project over the winter, painting with acrylics on canvas and oil on canvas, with large sweeps of pure color complimented with black lines and shapes and gestures, super happy with the results! 8 30x48 pieces are the result, hope you enjoy!
