 When We Begin from Where We Will Be, or an Approximation View fullsize
 Jumping the line, or intrinsic melody View fullsize
 Just when I think I’ve got a vague grasp of understanding how 2 colors will meet and blend... they surprise me. View fullsize
 If you stand still and are in the right place, at the right time, you know how there’s that moment at dusk, just before the sky gets dark, where the whole world gets brighter for just a millisecond? I’ve missed that moment more times than I’ve caugh View fullsize
 When red goes all in on the syncopation. View fullsize
 I have always been intrigued by intersections: geographical, interpersonal, cognitive... etc., just all manner of intersection.  Almost all of this series is about intersection.  Where edges meet, where paths diverge, where we meet each other, where View fullsize
 There are those moments when I lay down paint just for the color, to see what a couple of colors have to say to each other, to see how they feel next to each other. Color changes everything about a moment... just like a song brings memory; color bri View fullsize
 That day that entropy began to make sense and Orange was there to witness the moment. View fullsize

 When the horizon is elusive but the distractions are thought provoking. View fullsize

 All the places we will go. View fullsize
 The other day I woke up thinking about geometry. That I woke up thinking about geometry is ironic and bizarre on so many different levels, but I did. And geometry led me to triangles, and arcs, and then those theorems.  10th grade geometry class was View fullsize

 The day has its way. View fullsize
 Where we hold it. View fullsize
 Where the clouds are born. View fullsize
 My eye is always looking for shapes that will tell me a story, and so when I paint “abstractly” I have to turn the volume down on that part of my brain, and just move the brush or my hand and see the color.  But when I’m done with the painting part? View fullsize

 I think there might be something about a hedgerow going on here. View fullsize

 Finding the treasure while tip toeing thru the shadows. View fullsize
 When the centers meet to discuss the gap. View fullsize
 Where I contemplate all the ways we miss each other: as in not understanding each other, as in losing connection, as in not noticing or hearing, as in I miss you. View fullsize
 Just when you think you know where all your roads may go, you find a few surprises, a few that you'd never even contemplated finding. And there's that green too. View fullsize
 Little lights everywhere, sometimes where you'd least expect them, even in the dark, even in the midst, even in the everything. View fullsize

In a dream last night, my grandmother was telling me that a curved line was forgiveness, a straight line was thoughtful and a wavy line was for all my journeys. She told me all of this (and more, but I can’t remember the rest) while she was pou
A beginnings story.

In late 2020, a few months after arriving in Maine, I began making large scale drawings on Kraft paper with charcoal and the few pastels I could scrounge up. It was by necessity that I started these. First, the necessity of worki
Several of my large-scale drawings have made their way out of my studio and down the road to the Camden Public Library exhibit space. This is the first time I’m showing this art and I’m thrilled that it’s hanging with work by Allegr
A day in Calais to help install a mural by @peterwallsart = hard work, delightful conversation, a few OOPS, many laughs, and I learned more about the process of site specific art and it’s installation. Turning a bland, pretty industrial looking
