About The Artwork

The Sailboat, Limited Edition of 5 Available on canvas or paper (price shown in primary listing is for canvas.) Canvas prints are 24" square on 1.25 or 2" deep stretcher bars, image is sprayed with a satin UV protection and mirror printed on all sides for frameless or float framing as desired. $1650. Printed on Paper, 24x24" limited edition of 5, $1300 I am happy to work with you with other methods of framing and mounting for customized interiors installations. From a series called "Immersions." These pieces began with photographs taken at the beach on the first summer weekends after the lifting of pandemic lock down. It was exhilarating to see people embracing sunlight, the joy of living in the body, and the transformations of water after a dark winter. Emblematic of our time, it was almost impossible to find a picture of a group on the beach where someone was not on their phone. This man in the left hand corner was omnipresent, doing business, dialing, checking, clicking, being anywhere but here, while the dazzling life of the summer passed in front of him. This piece combines various photographs into a landscape of industrial surface, contemporary color and figures moving in space that is both real and dreamed. The visual approach is inspired by a recent exhibit of Monet's work at Étretat. The selection of paintings in this exhibit included early photographs and essays about the interplay between painters and photographers in the Impressionist movement. It is a dialog that continues here, with modern photography and a painter's mind. Where the French Impressionists might smear a figure with paint thinned with turpentine, the modern photographer might look through a lens darkly, or with so much depth of field the world becomes entirely emotion.

Throughout my work I explore impermanence as it occurs in the urban landscape and in nature. My architectural prints and mixed media pieces focus on the radical reshaping of the built landscape through gentrification and de-industrialization. As we are confronted with change and our relationship to it, I am interested in the question of how much of the past we value and hold onto, and how much we let go to make the future our “now.” My work lives on the edge between nostalgia and accommodation, mediating through the elements of surface and iconic structure to a conversation about history, identity and sense of place. I have been a calligrapher and letter form artist for much of my professional art career, creating well known brandmarks for film, books and packaging. I have created custom typographic identities for Kitty Kelly, Clive Barker, Naomi Judd, and Anne Rice among others, and movie titling for Dreamworks and Walt Disney. As a fine artist I bring my passion for mark making and the architecture of letter forms into the abstract realm. I have a calligrapher's subtle sense of surface and texture, and incorporate calligraphic mark making into many of my pieces. I use photography, digital composition, printmaking, mixed media and collage, shifting as needed to suit my subject matter. I embrace new media and the infinite ways in which the analog and the digital can be shaken, stirred and poured into a new creative form.
