About The Artwork
My INSPIRATION was all the wondrous worlds, both small and large co-existing in nature. I turned the tables on what we think of as our human macrocosm by painting the house tiny and dwarfed by the much larger Lilly plant. In Plaintain Lilly the human world becomes the microcosm and the human dwelling can be seen only through a small opening between the Lilly's enormous leaves. In addition the leaves are teaming with bustling insect life and meant to hint at the life inside the house with its tiny human inhabitants which is not so very different. II hope VIEWERS WILL FEEL about this image that it is akin to the view some gigantic entity from a distant corner of our universe would see if he/she/it lifted up a star and found billions of tiny humans rushing hither and yon. TECHNICAL MATTERS - I used acrylic paint (kept wet with a retardant) on linen canvas to create the movement, color and drama of this piece. The many built up layers of color make the surface glow. For the stars, I created texture and twinkling by using crushed gemstones which are pressed into the paint as stars. The painting is unframed, but painted on it's gallery-wrapped linen sides It is wired and ready to hang.

As a painter, I am an explorer, uncovering, recording and rearranging the beauty of the natural world, as well as the beauty of human beings. I select and distill the very essence of my subject, harmony between nature and humanity, sometimes combining the two. This symbiosis makes the finished work even more beautiful than either of its constituents alone. When you first visit my fantasy world, you will notice a lot of extraordinary things going on in my paintings. For instance, I might substitute a bird for a hat, or a butterfly for a bowtie. These unusual substitutions function as symbols and provide subtle clues and playful suggestions about my work. The shapes of birds and hats, or butterflies and bowties, are so similar that viewers never even question the replacements. I pick the substitutes because they fit graphically and visually. But it is more than that. We as humans fit with nature. We fit together so well, in fact, that I am able to paint a natural object–a butterfly–in place of the bowtie–and viewers can see this as truth. My world will refresh you with its vibrant colors, textures, and interchangeable shapes as you immerse yourself in the integration of nature and humanity. You will be at peace with yourself and at one with nature. You will experience nature in a totally new way and see beauty in places where you never before thought to look.
