About the Artist
Painting
Painting for me is the invention of pictorial equivalents. I am attracted to the marvels and enigmas of the Ice Age landforms and that gets me started. Painting is about getting the feeling of the place and reacting all the while to color resonance and light. Even more importantly for me, is how the act of painting becomes the 'representation'; to paint is responding to the visceral quality of 'painting' itself.
