STATEMENT
My oil paintings originate from photographs. I look for ordinary subject matter. I try to see "the usual in an unusual way" when I capture the image. Making color decisions are very new and exciting for me. Photoshop is my sketchpad and playground. I digitally manipulate and adjust the color until I'm satisfied. Sometimes the hours on this step exceed the hours spent painting. I use my newly altered photo as a reference as I paint. My intent is to make the viewer rethink our common, everyday scenes/objects and taste them as a new color flavor.
BIO
I have been teaching art at Essex High School since the eighties, where I teach classes in ceramics and photography. Four years ago, I turned fifty and decided to begin showing my work publicly. My initial focus was black-and-white photomontages. I created surreal environments by digitally combining images. Recently, I have been exploring oil painting. Awards include Helen Day Art Center Award of Excellence in Photography in 2005 and the Horace Eldred Award for Photography at the Bryan Memorial Gallery in 2004 and 2005.
