ABOUT THE ARTWORK

I enjoy painting objects and settings relating to my identity. This painting is based on an antique Japanese vase that was my great grandmother's. It has been cropped and abstracted to the point of ambiguity. This work is part of the series “Abstract Realism Paintings: Objects, Faceless Portraits & Reflections”. "Japanese Vase" can be hung as-is or framed.

Born and raised in Philadelphia, I earned a BA in art history and urban studies from Boston University. Post-college, I was hired as a graphic designer at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and remained in the field for over 20 years. My first few decades of painting were devoted to portraiture. Capturing a likeness came naturally and I loved interacting with my subjects, where I could connect, interpret and reveal. Intuitive expression evolved into a more formal, contemplative practice of intent. I created thematic series, and developed a style of flattening and simplifying. Eventually, I became curious about the colors and forms within the faces I was painting. Shifting from portraiture to abstraction didn’t feel like a huge leap. I apply and develop many of the same systems, techniques and themes. Process and perception are major considerations in my practice. Borrowing heavily from my graphic design past, I often use software to manipulate photographs of works-in-progress to expedite decision-making; and to create designs that I translate into paintings. Years of assuring color-correct reproduction has led to an exacting sense of color formulation and nuance. My paintings are meant to be contemplative. I strive for uncertainty of dimension and perspective. Boundaries between representational and abstract, as well as what is recessive or dominant are also meant to be ambiguous. This push-and-pull is exciting to my eye. I currently live in Connecticut. My paintings have been in a number of exhibitions and are in numerous private collections.
