ABOUT THE ARTWORK

"Barbie Rothko" is a medium sized square acrylic painting on canvas, 24" x 24". Rothko is one of my art gods and his work is ever present in my mind. Much of my work is inspired by or descended in some way from his. Some people see "floating rectangles". I see an internal landscape. These pink and orange pastel shades have been in my mind a lot lately as my family will soon welcome a new baby. I have been luxuriating in soft baby thoughts. This painting ships wired and ready to hang. It is "gallery wrapped" meaning the canvas wraps around the sides which are painted. It does not need a frame although a floater frame would be very attractive.

Every painting starts with a leap into the unknown. I choose the direction but there are always unexpected discoveries along the way. My work is very much driven by my process. Through this process of creation and destruction, by adding layers and elements and then erasing, effacing and obscuring them, the piece “becomes itself”. It is a material artifact of the constant struggle for balance in life. I make luminous and atmospheric abstract paintings. My paintings do not insist on any particular interpretation. My work ranges from the stillness of weightless color field to more active compositions comprised of a personal visual language of gesture and form that, like music, speaks directly to the psyche. My work is an invitation to the viewer to pause, an encouragement to reawaken and to connect to a sphere beyond our shallow, unsatisfying and overly technological world. Art is a portal to the vastness within and without. Art connects us to the boundlessness of possibility. Art gives us hope. I studied Art History at Princeton, as well as painting, under Michael David, Harvey Quaytman and Heidi Gluck but particularly under the tutelage of Sean Scully who was my thesis show advisor. I studied Critical Theory under David Shapiro, himself a student of Meyer Shapiro, and and while I thoroughly enjoy a good critical shredding, in the end, art is good if you, the viewer, like it.
