Libretto Series is made by applying acrylic paint over gold and metal leafed canvasses. However, to make these, I use the pointed handle of my brush to scrape horizontal line across and through the still-wet layer of acrylic paint until the entire surface is covered by rows of finely drawn lines, each revealing a shimmering strand of light that seems to move and sway. The rows of lines appear etched in gold and silver, and create glowing transparent veils of color in each individual canvas. Composed entirely through a process of linear repetition, and devoid of a horizon line, these paintings are more abstract than some of my other work. The viewer’s eye follows these undulating and uninterrupted lines that simultaneously evoke both the shifting reflective surface and ineffable depth of water, as well as brain waves, topographical maps and writing. Each painting has it's own resonance, rhythm, harmony and depth and evokes highly personal responses.

I paint luminous abstract landscapes on gold leafed and metal leafed canvasses. Extending the centuries-old tradition of gold leafing, I adapted the technique to express my own Modernist vision - one that has luminosity as its underlying theme. My interest in painting on gold, copper, and aluminum leaf does not lie in the value of the precious metals, but in the unique quality of the reflected light that emanates from them. The metal leaf in fact forms only a micro-thin layer on the canvas. I paint directly onto this surface with acrylic paints and strive to create an intensely evocative radiance. In addition to paintings to canvas, I have created and exhibited bronze sculptures, installations, prints and works on paper. My studio practice is characterized by experimentation with artistic techniques and materials, many of which I have used in different combinations to develop several extended investigational series of work. I continue to live and work in New York City.
