"Pine Rock"

These paintings evolved from a  week of isolation on Monhigan  Island, Maine. I wanted to catch  the serenity that I felt.

MONHEGAN ISLAND Series

"Flutter"

I liked the idea of giving visual portrayal to movement and sound. Flutter was motivated by the invasion of green parrots in my yard.

THE OTHER SENSES Series

"Blue Shadow"

Broad Fields, undulating hills, shaded woods, ponds and streams provide patterns of contrast in texture and color. they represent my northern home.

SENSE OF PLACE Series

"Contained"

The contradiction of free flight and the confinement of cages directs this imagery

THE ABOUT BIRDS Series

"Poles"

As this familiar image evolved, I saw a representation of diversity of thought and choice in any group.

THE SMALL BIRD Series

"E Harmony"

These images deal with moods, thoughts, and observations. The drawings and paintings are titled after the artist has arrived at the completed image.

REFLECTION Series

"Repeat Warning"

Impressions generated by world news is the impetus for these collaged, roughly surfaced oil paintings. The large bas relief assemblages incorporate found objects.

HOME Series

"Bulb"

Watching the gradual emergence of blossoms from the amaryllis bulb suggested growth in all its forms, human, emotional, and mental.

AMARYLLIS Series

"Lures"

This is one of three paintings which share the human trait of always seeking a change of any sort. The hook and the title "Fishing" are the metaphors for this idea.

FISHING Series

"Charlotte"

I think I’ve wanted to see if the essence of the peony was something I could discover, and to a degree, abstract.  These paintings, which I call “Riffs on the Peony” are such an attempt.
