2024
I'm currently exploring big representations of a small world and small paintings of a big world. Our perception of space and distance can be surprisingly accommodating. How we interpret and make meaning from two dimensional marks is what draws us in. I would like to get even more abstract. I also illustrate children's books about the natural world. My paintings inform these illustrations which are more representational and descriptive but still loose.
Spring and Summer 2024 have been busy and wonderful. The show at Holyoke State Park was such a privilege and working with visiting children was a highlight. What fun to paint woodpeckers together. Then there was travel to Madison for a big Children and Nature Network conference. Now I'm being a bit more quiet and reflective in the studio. Enjoy.
