My work is primarily about the memory of particular places of significance to
me. The paintings begin with this memory and then change as they become a
work of their own that could be described in many ways as autobiographical.
One scene that is significant whether in terms of composition, color, texture, or
all of the above, is used as a springboard for the painting. Because it is most
likely a place that I’ve travelled so or spend a considerable amount of time, it is
very meaningful to me and the desire to accurately represent the memory is
great. In this sense, I am deliberately trying to represent the memory more
than the place itself.
In addition, certain images become symbolic from painting to painting—for
instance the image of water falling or moving as a representation of change,
Whale Rock (an actual rock on the North Fork of Long Island) as a
representation of me, the presence of vineyards, forests, rocks and fields as
other elements that may have existed in the real place but also become part of
the emotional landscape that I am describing.
After the basic composition is established, I begin to add the textures and the
sense of movement that are pleasing to me. The transparency and balance of
color and the movement of the canvas as a whole are my primary
preoccupations.
