| the work....I am still pursuing an original style of painting which is just beginning to crystallize fully... the interests and elements that I feel are instinctual and relevant to the development of my personal style include calligraphic, graffiti-like abstract marks, personal, mythological symbol systems (for now, birds, nets, boats, mountains, fire, trees), and a strong sense of place... atmospheric, archetypal spaces, using colors that hold emotional resonance for me (deep red-violet-brown, turquoise, earth colors, white, black, gold, scarlet red)
about me... I grew up in, outside of, and around Philadelphia, Buenos Aires, and the Bronx, and now happily live and work in Oakland, California. I've exhibited work in group shows at galleries, art centers, and local museums.
Where have I studied and practiced?...I've been painting since my early teens, having studied with several artists,(including Ann Balbirnie, Diana Dowek, and Alfredo Benavidez Bedoya) in their studios both in the United States... |

i am loving my new medium, acrylic paint. i can work faster and create great textures. i finished 12 small panels ("flights") a few weeks ago. | | the new stuff....
working on new paintings in a series i think will be called "threshold" or "thresholds".
"what is it?" is a question i ask myself often while painting these canvases, also "what am i doing?"
.....i suppose the point is that i've been determined lately to paint very instinctually.... just paint, move the paint around as it feels right to.....is it simple expressionism?
maybe. |
