Materials

Q          What medium do you work in and why? What kind of materials are you using? What is it that leads some ideas to become paintings vs. some other other media?

A          Each medium presents it's own technical challenges and teaches me different things, each informs the other.
             My paintings are oil on canvas. I love the buttery texture of oil paint, the fact that it doesn't dry right away, and its capability to be either opaque or transparent.

Q          Can you describe your art indicating your use of color, shapes, textures, and size? What does it look like?

A          The colors I tend to use are muted and earthy, with occasional saturated, bright ones. My favorites are found in Byzantine icons and stained glass windows, like deep-sea gray-blues and dark earth reds.
             The largest picture I've ever made is 4 by 7 feet, the smallest 4 x 6 inches. A lot of my paintings are around the 2 –3 feet mark on the longest side.
             I love to paint with layered colors and transparent glazes, and how it looks scraped away to reveal the part underneath.
