A Sense of Place

12/25/2020

Looking at where I am-where we are-where we're going. I know it sounds a bit much, but I feel so strongly that where we live affects who we are. I am an abstract painter but there's often a feel of landscape in addition to the balance of line and color.

Easter Eggs in the Summer!

A print of a painting done ten years ago finds its way to a Buffalo balcony and the pages of Buffalo Rising

Looking back- and ahead

It's been a year of of changes

Why This-Why Now?

Do artists have to stay with one style all their lives?

Spring arriving..maybe?

Vibrant colors rather than wintry hues

Looking forward to..spring at the gallery in the garden

I've loved having paintings at The Bookery these winter months, but am looking forward to welcoming visitors to The Mink Gallery in March.

A nice new show space!

The Bookery opens its walls to paintings, and i have the pleasure of getting in there first!

"Begin" seems like the right title

One more week left for show with Patty Brown at State of the Art. A great collaboration- not overdone, but I think our colorful, gestural work goes well together.

Wonderful opportunities to share art this year

05/03/2016

The month of May opens with a great group show at State of the Art Gallery in Ithaca on Friday May 6, then an open studio from 10-3 pm at the Mink Gallery, 614 North Cayuga Street.

One week later I'm in Buffalo for the Echo Art Fair at the OSC Manufacturing, 1001 East Delavan in Buffalo NY. The first Echo was held at the old Central Train Station on Buffalo's East Side, then moved to other locations. Now it's back in what promises to be a great setting.

Reception Theory

04/01/2016

It's such a privilege to have one's work viewed and thoughtfully considered by someone you've never met. Jessica Beck is the Associate Curator of Art at the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, and was the judge for the BSA 120th Catalogue Show at the Castellani Museum of Art in Lewiston. I wanted to share what she wrote about this piece, "Happiness", not only because it's so generous, but because it makes me think about what I do in new ways.

Continuing the Story

03/24/2016

Feeling the weight of history these days, the untimely death of Cornell's president Beth Garrett, the passing of our son Dan three years ago last month, my mother three years ago this month, my father in June of 2014- feelings of nostalgia, as much as loss, and as I age, the sense of a limited horizon. So why not put some thoughts down?

Lyric Visions: Artists Respond to Poetry

02/01/2016

Looking forward to our two month long special event at State of the Art Gallery in ithaca. SOAG artists respond to a poem or poems from regional poets, invited by past Poet Laureate of Tompkins County, Tish PEARLMAN.
