Poetic and almost audible landscapes draw the viewer in as the late afternoon light softens the grit and rust. – Dolby Chadwick Gallery

The industrial environment of my Benicia studio on the Carquinez Strait has changed the imagery of my artwork since moving here 14 years ago. Prior to that move, I painted light in the natural landscape in California, Oregon, and Washington.

In the Benicia Arsenal, the ships, buildings, and streets offer me challenging subject matter. I focus on my direct visual experience, and my memory of it, while exploring linear rhythms of color and space interacting with light. The long walkways, spans of rooftops, broadsides of immense ships, and urban architecture present compositions quite different from the organic flow in nature.

And now, through the process of monotype printmaking, another change is occurring – the organic flow in nature merging with industrial architecture. Simplified linear forms mixed with the atmospheric space of dust, smoke and clouds are unfolding a mysterious combination of external and internal light.

I work with oil paints, encaustic, pastels, and monotype printmaking.
