Artist's Statement

"In my new work I continue to explore the possibilities of abstraction as they are informed by the structure of landscape. As starting points for these paintings I have drawn inspiration from the wooded conservation land behind my family's Hingham home. These paintings start out in varying degrees of conventionality, but at some point in their evolution they become something else. After spending fifteen years in New York City, I returned to Hingham in 2006 to take a break from the distractions of the city. Since then I have become increasingly absorbed by nature through my daily walks in the woods and their mysterious artististic possibilities. The paintings in my Dolphin Gallery show reflect my evolving definition of what a landscape painting is."
