Read our interview with the artist

I’m a scientist and an artist.  I love a unique and beautiful experiment, whether it’s in the laboratory or on canvas. Places I remember and recreate have distinct light effects that amplify shadows, shapes and colors.  Often my images are of nature, both real landscapes and synthesized ones, with various degrees of abstraction. I have been experimenting, recently, with abstract images that convey color harmony, texture, and motion. These celebrate earth, its elements, air, water, land, with a goal of juxtaposing colors surprisingly, drawing the viewer into airy, solid, liquid, and movement patterns that keep coaxing the eye back for more. I love being captured by the surprising and varied effects of light, whether coming through fall trees, touching a person’s face, a dramatic sunrise, or reflecting off of buildings in a city. Many of the places I’ve lived, Vermont, Sweden, England, Michigan, and the Colorado mountains all have unique and seasonal light effects that I love to interpret in my paintings.
