CLOUD ATLAS PAINTINGS 
in this series from 2023 I used source images from my life that were poignant and memorable.  I typically use photographs as inspiration to paint what I feel or to articulate a bit of poetry or as a avenue to express a color.  With this series, however, I painted what I saw and remembered.  The dates on the paintings relate to the date the image was taken.  All the paintings were created in 2023.  I'll many times choose to reduce the price on paintings that remain in a series after a certain time has passed or as I need more wall space.  I try very hard to place my paintings and not have a secret storage of older works.  These last 3 paintings are now at 50% off until they sell. There will be no further reductions **please note that sale paintings are exempt from designer discounts or agent commissions**

Source and technique have melded in my paintings in such a way that poetry, nature, color, light, mood and atmosphere are at one with my method of layering oil on canvas.  Void of visible brush stokes and seemingly lit from within, I have spent my career mastering my method and using the outer world as a shoreline to our inner longings.  My paintings, often paired with poetry that I am contemporaneously reading, offer an opening to the contemplation that accompanies those moments in nature where melancholic beauty quiets us.  Mimicry of an objective nature is less the goal than evoking the mood and atmospheres of our existence.  

​

In my recent paintings the sea and sky have taken on a larger and more energetic role, giving me the space to explore a loose yet structured mark making—just as the sea and sky themselves are both chaos and order.  I find inspiration in scrims; the veil of fog, the glare of sunlight on water, the quieting as night approaches and everything is reduced to shadow and light, the revealing of a well of color at dawn and the heaviness and energy of a storm.

​

I live in Bellingham and have a storefront studio in the downtown area.  I have been exhibiting my work professionally for the past 20 years.  My paintings are held in collections throughout the US, Canada, Europe and Australia.

​

I have exhibited my work extensively in galleries and curated shows since 2008. I currently show my work at my storefront studio only--by choice-- and have no gallery affiliation at this time.
