Artist's Statement
My paintings
draw upon the decades I've spent as an architect.
Drawing is my primary tool of communication. Different lines
have different meanings-centerlines, grid lines, contour lines,
etc. I use line patterns to indicate different materials,
symbols to convey content.
My paintings incorporate both collaged
images as well as the hand drawn. I work primarily on paper,
initially in graphite or charcoal, creating many layers in
acrylic paint or collage, scratching through to find the original
structure below. This process parallels my love of the 'bones'
of a building; what is behind the walls, under the flooring
to the steel and concrete or wood structural frame.
My work has been shown in several juried,
solo and invitational shows and is in several private collections
throughout the United States and Europe.
