In my mind, dynamic energy exists in everything, including rocks and sand, the structural mainstays of both the Berkshires and Cape Cod. For me the art and illustration work is about capturing the movement of shape as it reflects the dynamic energy that is required for life.

Much of my journal/ sketchbook/ study work is intended for oil or watercolor paintings, with the occasional step into pastels. My camera and iPhone are important parts of the journal process used for detail and shape verification. A stupidly slow producer in all media, oil painting is the slowest, partially due to studio circumstances given that it has to be warm enough for me to work outdoors. I am currently working on four paintings related to fallen trees at the East Hill Rd. Beaver Swamp. Stay tuned!
