About The Artwork

This work consists of two paintings of equal size - each is one foot high and four feet wide. They were created at the same time and work together, but also stand on their own. I like the orange one above the purple and would suggest a simple, light-colored wooden frame for each, but I would trust the collector to decide how they wish to frame and display them. I created the underpainting/drawing on canvas outdoors, overlooking Wigtown Bay in Dumfries & Galloway, Scotland. I spend much of my time here and am constantly inspired by the way the same view can change so radically in different light and weather conditions. The two works were begun on separate summer days when the weather was radically different...one in the intense evening sun, the other as an afternoon storm was brewing. In the weeks that followed, I finished the pieces in my studio. Each time I look at them I see something different, sometimes faces in the sky. The orange painting shows the path to the site of the Martyr's Stake, an historic place of pilgrimage honoring two women who died there for their religious faith in the 1600s. It is a mystical, spiritual, very special place.

Art is how I relate to the world, observing, responding, recording, interpreting, imagining. As a young art graduate In New York, I was part of a group of artists from Jamaica Arts Center that co-founded the first cooperative gallery in Queens (The Exhibitionists) and quickly found myself at the intersection of art and business. For many years I worked in arts management in the US and UK, including four years as director of Castlefield Gallery, Manchester where I built partnerships and raised funds to construct a purpose-designed art gallery that continues to thrive today. I started making the transition back to my own art practice In 2004 with an Arts Council England Grant for the Arts for a documentary project at Bury Market in Lancashire. My move to rural Scotland followed. In 2016 I was awarded a Creative Scotland/South of Scotland VACMA Award for a mural project back in my home town, New York. Painting is now my main focus, and I also use sound, video, words...whatever media are needed to realise personal, community and collaborative projects.
