Rosalux Member Since 2005
I live and work in Minneapolis, MN. I have exhibited my work nationally and internationally at galleries including The Burren College of Art in Ireland, The National Galleries of Scotland in Edinburgh, Soo Local, Minnesota, Circa Gallery, MN, Artistry, MN, Sears Peyton Gallery, NY, Rosalux Gallery, MN. I have had numerous commisions , commercial and residential.
I have been developing an abstract language through painting to contemplate aspects of the landscape. I am particularly interested in the interplay of land, sky and cityscape. I work with rich shiny Venetian plaster and trowels on wood panel. The plaster is a malleable material and used in layers – it allows me to question aspects of time, light, and space. I paint to find beauty in the tension between the illusion of a felt space and the primitive mark that created it.
