Pink and Blush Colored Paintings

I’ve been a bit obsessed with the color pink–which is not a good thing when it comes to the likelihood of a painting having universal appeal–much less commercial appeal.  It is common knowledge among artists that pink paintings don’t sell. Just look in any artists’ closet.

And, I don’t care.  I use pink because it signifies softness and the feminine.  Because I’m trying to express mood without “mood”.  Because there is a lightness about pink which is uplifting.  Because pink–the lighter blush shade of pink–is a quiet, calming color.  Because pink is fleshy and emotional and human. 

I feel like I’m on a mission lately. To show how pink works in your home spaces.  And how my pink paintings say a lot with very little.

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.
