ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This is a pink Hyacinth vine. My mom got these seeds from an Amish farmer in Lancaster Pennsylvania. She did not know what kind of flowers they were, she just told me they were beautiful pink flowers, with beautiful purple bean pods. I gave these seeds prime location in my vegetable garden, thinking I was able to eat these purple beans. Those beans turned out to be pretty tough, and you do not want to eat them. The plant was a mound of beautiful chaos with cool complimentary colors. Painting this was a bit overwhelming, I brought my easel outside and painted directly in the garden. I kept trying to feel comfortable in the chaos, and yet, I felt like it was my job to make sense of the chaos for the viewer of the painting. The other working title for this piece is "Man versus Nature."

I am a live event painter. Wedding painting has been my main focus of work for the last 8 years... I organize a weekly figure drawing session in my community, this is my playtime. I am passionately dedicated to painting. I started oil painting when was 12 years old. Painting from life or on location enables me to use all of my senses. I work quickly and intuitively, laying down a damp tone on the canvas and then create compositional indications in paint of the subject. I try to feel the land and how I am connected to it. Time of day, atmosphere, temperature, light, movement, season...all inform my paintings. This allows sensory exploration into a combination of representation and painterly abstraction. At the same time, I use illusion to visually represent what draws us in and brings our insides out. When it feels like a poem, I know it is completed. I serve on the board of directors of my Orange County Arts Council, NY.
