Lives and works in West Cornwall, Connecticut
My work explores combinations of painting and sculpture, light and shadow, movement, and earth and other natural materials. My view of the power of man as ultimately secondary to the power of nature has informed my art from its beginnings. I think of myself as a painter, but any such designation has become unimportant. The gestural movements of my recent kinetic sculptures have strongly influenced the path of my paintings, and my paintings have made my sculpture painterly; each, in collaboration, complements the other.
