ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Delight in this creative and colorful modern still life oil painting on canvas. Inspired by the beauty of patterns and a ritual around meals, this contemporary still life captures an optimism and joy within a given day. The viewer is brought close to a table set with some simple yet decorative things. A heavily patterned cloth in beautiful shades of green holds space for an artful vase filled with vibrant yellow daffodils. A pair of empty bowls rest upon some equally embellished plates as the utensils stately resting on the side indicate a meal is about to ensue. A golden oval striped bowl filled with oranges adds warmth to the expressive display without giving away what else is to come. In creating this painting I thought about time and creating meaningful moments. Moments that linger deep in my soul. So often I can forget that I have the ability to create those kind of experiences with the simplest of things. Although the initial inspiration for this still life was connected to rituals around meals it turned out to be more about the importance of taking time to make some of the rituals I can take for granted more special and memorable. With that practice in mind this paintings bright colors and motifs are simple yet thoughtful and sophisticated. The brush strokes marking moments in the process while also adding texture to this unique composition. The painting was created on a gallery wrapped canvas that is signed. The sides of the canvas are finished so that it can be hung with or without a frame.

ARTISTS STATEMENT: I observe, and participate in, the change of hues. I stand alone in a perspective—influenced by the roads and detours that I’ve chosen. The subjects I interpret on canvas dance with tradition, but underneath exists an individual search for freedom. As a creator, I’ve always been interested in working with color. I see my life as having a palette of its own and I seek to have the chroma of my experiences come through in my paintings. Over time, I’ve realized the only way to achieve this goal is to risk exposure—to unveil my simplified forms to the viewer. Whether the forms operate within the context of landscape or still life, the resulting narrative is always a story of merit, regardless of public perception or understanding. BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION: I was born in Vancouver, BC in 1958 and then moved to California which is where my parents originally met. I lived there until I was 6 when my family moved across the US to New Jersey for my father's work. I grew up in a creative family and pursued art in college only to leave it upon graduation, dabbling with it over the years that followed. In 2010 I returned to painting on a more committed basis. This was spawned by some significant life changes and painting became my respite. I still reside in New Jersey and as an artist I appreciate the proximity to both Philadelphia and New York City. I've been showing my work since 2011 and continue to do so.
