The outside edge of a panel or canvas influences how an interior shape, color or texture is perceived and felt. To me, it’s important to recognize that a context does so much to define the relationships taking place within it.
Many of my paintings are on the verge of looking like something, but I’m happiest when they remain elusive intimations. I love it when a painting is allowed to be, even if for just a moment, nothing more than itself.
Recent exhibitions include intimate, intimate and Temporary Fun at Augen Gallery in Portland, Oregon; End of the Beginning in Queensland, Australia; What Develops at The Floating Gallery in Portland, OR; Just Like This for a Little While (solo show) at Oranj Studio in Portland, OR; the 60th Chautauqua Annual Exhibit of Contemporary Art in Chautauqua, New York; Transformation Chase at the North View Gallery, also in Portland, OR. He has also shown work at Gallery 214 on the Pacific Northwest College of Art campus (Portland,OR) and at Oregon State University (Corvallis, OR).
