I would like viewers of my paintings to experience them from their perspective without the interjection of my concepts and work process. The hope is for the viewer to enter a dialogue with the art that avoids preconceived notions or my conceptual influences. Art is about the experience, both in the creation and in the viewing of it.  
​
“Paintings must be understood through the eyes, and that's not the word either. No writing, no talking, no singing, no dancing will explain them. They are the final, the nth whoopee of sight." 
Charles Demuth

Artist statement and views of the artist studio

My portraits are painted from life in natural light. They are painted on a canvas support using high quality oils,. Many of the portraits are tronies (small paintings of heads) others are a larger scale  up to life size.
