This piece is the product of my love of the copper. It is made with a variety of textured/layered metallic copper paints- different hues- with contrasting touches of glittering gold and green by day. At night it is a "NightlightArt" painting with brilliant luminous borders made from thick, doped strontium aluminate (OSHA-rated toy-safe.) I make these pigments myself from the powdered minerals. Different rare earths mixed into the strontium aluminate produce the colors- green and blue. The edges of this canvas are luminous, each side a different pattern which casts glow onto the wall. Exposure to any visible light will "excite" the minerals and make them glow for 10-20 hours. This ability to absorb and shed light endures for decades.

The driving force of my art is curiosity. Each piece begins with the question “What if?” What if I use these colors, textures, materials, techniques, or objects together? Each work is a surprise package I get to slowly open. I study art, and in my head I divide the field between decorative art that people want in their homes, which is great, and “arty” art that is innovative, original, and sometimes gallery-worthy. I often fail but generally aim for the elusive territory between the two- attempting to create things pleasing to the eye that people might want to live with, while pushing out boundaries for both everyday and more sophisticated art lovers. A unique recurring feature of most of my work is the inclusion of photoluminescent strontium aluminate doped with rare earths. I make the pigments myself for maximum luminance. The works are thereby two compositions, one by day and a second, rather magical composition that appears at night. I employ super-bright child-safe minerals that shed light for 10 to 20 hours after exposure to any visible light, and that continue to be “re-excitable” for decades. I do not have a single style because my relentless curiosity leads me in many directions as I constantly explore new materials, tools, techniques, and “What if?” questions.
