My oil paintings, prints and watercolors are about sea changes and numinous experience. Recently, my paintings allude to an underwater
landscape and the implications of being underwater. There is a
peaceful tension in these submerged figures because they are detached
from the world and removed from the influence of gravity. Blue is a
clear signifier of the water, but in some of the pieces the shapes of
the figures in their weightless poses indicate water-ness. There is a
remnant of the world above in the suggestion of the distorting
property of surface tension. It reminds of the inevitability of the
moment passing and the nature of ephemerality is change. You are not privy to the next part of the narrative, but are left to wonder. Mostly you are
intrigued by the figures engaged in their watery moment with each
other, sea life, or you.
