About The Artwork

Painting on 300 lb Arches watercolor paper, the ninth in a series inspired by the Brazilian artist Lygia Clark (1920-1988), specifically Superficie Modulada, a geometric drawing from 1956 done with graphite and gouache on paper. I'm interested in juxtapositions of color, and how colors either come together, or move away from each other. Triangles are just a starting point. I'm also interested in figure/ground interplay and in surface and texture exploration. As part of this exploration, I like to experiment with glazes, and in this painting, notice that the "gray" that you see, is actually a green with a red glaze on top. As an interesting fact, the Arches paper company was established in France in 1492!

I am an American artist and visual arts teacher. After teaching Visual Arts at BAICA in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and the Future Leadership Academy in Hainan, China, I am now teaching at the Cornerstone School in Ocala, Florida. I obtained a BFA degree with a concentration in painting and printmaking from the University of Michigan. I had my first individual art show in 1991 at the Luigi Marrozzini Gallery in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico, where I lived for 11 years before moving to Argentina in 1997. I have had numerous individual art shows in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and have participated in many collective exhibitions and art fairs. My artwork is found in private collections in the United States, Puerto Rico, Argentina, Mexico, Guatemala, Panama, Chile, Peru and Uruguay. I define my work as chromatic geometry, a trajectory I have followed relentlessly since 1991. I was awarded a Pollock-Krasner foundation grant for the year 2013. I received the 2012 Arte Espacio prize in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Artistic statement: My visual language is within the realm of geometric abstraction, expressly chromatic geometry. I find this to be the perfect milieu in which I can work with simple forms, without distractions, and in which I can experiment with the pictorial elements that inspire me the most: color, texture, pattern and movement. I have been inspired by indigenous textiles, especially from Guatemala, a place I have visited often. In my paintings and watercolors I strive to create a kind of visual and musical poetry of color and movement. I like to call this poetry of color "coloreography" because it combines, precisely, color and choreography.
