ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This is a framed oil painting on Belgian linen. My newest series, Play Space, explores the concept of birds at play. Lightweight and aloft, birds interact with string or paper scraps floating across the surface in spacious, minimal works. Growing up around birds, I observed their playfulness up close. Scientists have studied how various species of birds love to play with bits of string or paper scraps. Anthropomorphism is a great tool for helping us connect to nature and learn more about it. I hope this series inspires us to choose simplicity and balance with nature for the benefit of all. Uplifting, calm, and modern, my paintings are well-suited to a range of interiors from traditional, transitional, to mid-century inspired. Ships framed in high-quality wood frame and ready to hang. Certificate of authenticity included. Signed on back.

My work examines modernism and our relationship to nature throughout history. My decades-long interest in birds developed while observing birds owned by my grandfather, who was a bird breeder during an era when harboring birds in cages was popular. My oil paintings are faux-collages on canvas recreating the forms of torn vintage documents from various eras. Color, pattern and texture are layered like sedimentary rock from our collective history, with details such as intentional drips, marks and signs of age applied by hand. Birds are the protagonists, foraging what mankind has left behind. In my work the birds are free, telling a story with fragments from our past. Also included here are my collages and ink drawings on paper, done as studies for my larger oil paintings.
