My ongoing “Confinement Gardens” series, developed during the Covid 19 pandemic. Last year in March, as the virus was surging in New York, and strict lockdown measures were in place, I sought relief from these restrictions by walking through the city’s public parks and gardens. Witnessing the powerful emergence of waves of flowers during the spring blooming, I felt so hopeful despite the pandemic and the political situation we were in. Though I am an abstract painter, impressions of my garden walks emerged in my usually nonfigurative compositions, and I began combining floral and leaf forms with wholly abstract linear patterns. To convey the luminous power of these gardens, I paint several coats of translucent acrylics over an under-layer of aluminum leaf that I first apply to the canvas as a base to reflect and refract light back through the layers of semitransparent paint. Fully aware of the deteriorating natural environment, and the artifice of cultivated gardens, during this time, I am nonetheless seeking a vision of hope by celebrating nature’s ongoing luxuriant beauty in these lush green paintings punctuated with colorful notes of imagined flowers.

I paint luminous abstract landscapes on gold leafed and metal leafed canvasses. Extending the centuries-old tradition of gold leafing, I adapted the technique to express my own Modernist vision - one that has luminosity as its underlying theme. My interest in painting on gold, copper, and aluminum leaf does not lie in the value of the precious metals, but in the unique quality of the reflected light that emanates from them. The metal leaf in fact forms only a micro-thin layer on the canvas. I paint directly onto this surface with acrylic paints and strive to create an intensely evocative radiance. In addition to paintings to canvas, I have created and exhibited bronze sculptures, installations, prints and works on paper. My studio practice is characterized by experimentation with artistic techniques and materials, many of which I have used in different combinations to develop several extended investigational series of work. I continue to live and work in New York City.
