40" x 30" Mixed Media on Canvas Within the 'Circle Paintings' series, Seaglass is the most extreme example, both in terms of the technique and the amount of pigment used. Wtih more than 36 layers of paint, it pushes the limits of paint's corporeal consistency and textural potential. The result is a painting that is intensely physical and textural, while possessing an equally intense and complex opticality that draws you into the work.

36" x 29" Mixed Media on Canvas Pigments are applied using an arsenal of both conventional and non-conventional tools that includes a cough medicine dispenser, small recycled paint bottles, a pointy Victorian silver teaspoon and cake icing bags. The paints are put on in numerous multiple layers, until there is little or no blank canvas remaining.

30" x 30" Mixed Media on Canvas SOLD Although these paintings are made by the seemingly simple act of dripping or squeezing paint onto the canvas, they are the result of a thoughtfully deliberate approach to the act of applying the various pigments to the surface. And I believe the paintings carry a strong imprint of that process--the process of their creation.

39" x 32" Mixed Media on Canvas SOLD This is the first work in a series I'm calling the 'Circle Paintings', and in which I'm continuing my exploration of non-figurative art, and more specifically, of how I use the artist's hand in the process. In these paintings, latex, acrylic, 3-D paint and inks are dropped, dripped and squeezed onto the canvas in shapes that are more or less circular or oval, owing ultimately to the inherent properties of the materials and of the instruments used.
