I am interested in abstract, built and composed painting without losing the specific place, time or emotion. At various times I've narrated, interpreted, restored, represented, (re)designed and abstracted the landscape. After fourteen years of collaborative public eco-artwork, I built a house in Bovina and returned to painting: working from the everyday, familiar places around me, seeking to create images that are at once subtle and iconic.
