Elevating Series - 2010
Working in a language of color blocks, soft grids, and textural marks, my recent paintings blur the boundary between painting and frame as they explore the nature of surface and deep space, and include content suggested abstractly or represented literally.

Often a color theme is built-up on the surface by layering textual marks, and the color itself will suggest automatic or deliberate writing of numbers, words, or phrases.  Within a compostiion, symbolic images or motifs are embedded in deeper space; the resulting tension creates an allegorical framework for the power of memory, and forgetting. 

Color, mark- making, language, and recognizable images work to create a memory pool with emotive content for me, and reveal the act of painting as a way of recording moments in my life that flow into the making of personal myths and beliefs.

The sunnier hues of the Elevating 2010 series are a counterpoint to the rich earth-tones of the Grounding 2008 series.  This series speaks more to the energies of the springtime, to the ephemeral as much as the permanent, and to the vital present moment as the spirit of timelessness.
