ABOUT THE ARTWORK

'Grand Canyon River Bend 3' is a prime example of my 'painterly' approach to painting in what curators describe as an expressionist's style. Being categorized as an expressionist is fine with me, but it is not something I strive for. My 'style' of painting is an individual thing, a natural progression. It's personal and easily recognizable, and I, like most artists, have no idea where it came from - it's all magic to me. In 'Grand Canyon', crisp yellows and reds play against blues and shades of purple-gray. The river's bend through the landscape of the work, though discrete, is the basic structure for the painting's design. It is the largest work to date in this series of paintings based on the Arizona landscape that began in 2015 . 'River Bend' is painted on two stretched canvas panels, each 48"x 36", for an overall image measurement of 48"x 72". Each panel will be shipped in a gallery style wood frame made for the painting's protection and my own display with a certificate of authenticity enclosed.

Loren Dunlap’s innovative two-dimensional design program at John Herron Art Institute in Indianapolis was an early influence that persists today in my approach to painting. It gave me a unique foundation – a specific point of view. After two years at Herron, I received a scholarship from Tulane University’s Sophie Newcomb in New Orleans. The Abstract Expressionists were all the rage in ‘the art world’ then; DeKooning and that crowd. (One of the most celebrated, Helen Frankenthaler, while only briefly my instructor at Newcomb, absolutely changed my way of thinking about the making of art.) From Tulane, I was selected to work on the Owenite restoration Project in New Harmony, Indiana and was an adviser and instructor for the Blaffer Foundation Art Project that followed. I came to Hawaii by chance in the summer of nineteen seventy-eight and began a long-lasting affiliation with Lynn Shue and her Village Gallery Contemporary in Lahaina. I have been a resident of Maui ever since. [Since the summer of 2014 I have also been spending part of each year in Arizona and working out of my studio there.]          ​
