About The Artwork
I spend an unusual amount of time looking at cross-sections of things, like sliced garlic or MRI images. I love how compartments fit together to create a whole. I manipulate my oil paint without brushes, pushing it across the surface and scraping it away, so that it is thick in some areas and transparent in others. I also leave gaps between the painted shapes where raw white gesso shows through as a white line or shape. The gesso functions as a barrier between the shapes, although it is an absence rather than a presence. This painting is made on a lightweight, thin, flat wood panel, suitable for framing.

United States
I create compartmentalized oil paintings on surfaces such as discarded wood scraps, prepared paper, or canvas. The paintings are what I call "mental landscapes" -- both evoking nature and an internal abstract world. I think of each compartment as a window -- a small glimpse of something bigger beyond the visible. The rows of painted segments represent time lapses, and may function sequentially like an abstract comic book. The segments often wrap around the surface, terminate unexpectedly and disappear. My studio is located on the dynamic Space Coast of Florida. I'm currently Professor of Art at Eastern Florida State College, where I teach Drawing, Painting, and Design.
