About The Artwork
My latest paintings, entitled “Profiles in Ice” are expressions of appreciation and hope as we face global warming and the vanishing cryosphere. Just as we memorialize people and places with portraits, my paintings are meant to herald these important and essential elements of our world. The paintings are composed of three basic elements. The backgrounds are maps of glaciers. The mid layer consists of a constellation representing the planetary aspect of global warming and also the longing and loss of stability and reliability in our natural world The top layer is of a fading profile of ice. I use multiple layers of thin paint to build up the paintings. I remember how impressed I was when I first heard how some painters used layers of translucent paint so the light would pass through the colors and bounce back to the viewer! I’ve been wanting to try it myself for a long time. The paintings are acrylic on wood panels. They come complete with hanging wire and are ready to hang. The sides are primed wood.

My latest paintings, entitled “Profiles in Ice” are expressions of appreciation and hope as we face climate change and the vanishing cryosphere. Celebrating the beauty and transience of the frozen landscape; the massive glaciers and monumental icebergs. These paintings consist of three features: 1. A background depicting a map of a frozen landscape. 2. An overlay of a celestial constellation map, which provides a reminder of the global, planetary effect of this crisis, as well as a time stamp superimposed on the threatened landscape. 3. And lastly, an iconic figure of a fading iceberg. I use multiple layers of thin paint to build up the paintings. I remember how impressed I was when I first heard how some painters used layers and layers of translucent paint so the light would pass through the colors and bounce back to the viewer. The paintings are acrylic on wood panels. They come complete with hanging wire and are ready to hang.
