growing up in the great lakes region, water
has always been a powerful symbol for me.
It is intimately connected with the passage of
time…of stability and change.
most of my current paintings do not reference
the surrounding land. Instead, they focus on light,
texture, shape and movement of water.
there is no place to stand, only a place to be.
without a horizon line, the implied physical
presence of the viewer diminishes.
viewers are encouraged to meditate on the water,
projecting their own memories and associations
into the paintings.
