About The Artwork

INSPIRATION: Nature and specifically bees inspired Honey. I hope VIEWERS WILL FEEL as stirred by nature as I did when I painted a honeycomb backpack on my model and armfuls of flowers and honey jars. In a recent debate conducted by the Earthwatch Society at The Royal Geographical Society of London bees were named as the most important living beings on our planet. As a human, I don’t even mind coming in second (or even far lower, depending on where we stand in the importance rankings). I’ve got a buzz on for bees and I hope my viewers do too. I plan to do everything I can to help these fascinating selfless workaholics thrive. Yes, everything, including proselytizing for organic gardens, planting plenty of native flowers, especially the bees’ favorites, eating lots of honey and… and... ok…so maybe I won’t wear the honeycomb backpack. TECHNICAL MATTERS: I chose the subject matter because it is important for artists to be socially concerned especially when our environment is endangered. Acrylic is my go to pigment because of it's versatility. I use Charvin, a French brand because of it's glorious natural non toxic colors. There is nothing more beautiful than nature and nature's creatures. I cannot improve on them, so I render them realistically in a magical realism style.

As a painter, I am an explorer, uncovering, recording and rearranging the beauty of the natural world, as well as the beauty of human beings. I select and distill the very essence of my subject, harmony between nature and humanity, sometimes combining the two. This symbiosis makes the finished work even more beautiful than either of its constituents alone. When you first visit my fantasy world, you will notice a lot of extraordinary things going on in my paintings. For instance, I might substitute a bird for a hat, or a butterfly for a bowtie. These unusual substitutions function as symbols and provide subtle clues and playful suggestions about my work. The shapes of birds and hats, or butterflies and bowties, are so similar that viewers never even question the replacements. I pick the substitutes because they fit graphically and visually. But it is more than that. We as humans fit with nature. We fit together so well, in fact, that I am able to paint a natural object–a butterfly–in place of the bowtie–and viewers can see this as truth. My world will refresh you with its vibrant colors, textures, and interchangeable shapes as you immerse yourself in the integration of nature and humanity. You will be at peace with yourself and at one with nature. You will experience nature in a totally new way and see beauty in places where you never before thought to look.
