Artist Registry


The White Columns Curated Artist Registry is an online platform for emerging and under-recognized artists to share images and information about their respective practices. The Registry seeks to create a context for artists who have yet to benefit from wider critical, curatorial or commercial support. To be eligible, artists cannot be affiliated with a commercial gallery in New York City.

STATEMENT OF WORK

 

My watercolor paintings and ink drawings embody qualities that are increasingly important to me. They rely on relationships of simplified form and space while employing color or black and white as a means of expression and communication. These works, painted over a period of several years represents my interpretation of abstract shapes found in this particular landscape. 

Additionally, painting on location provides a thorough immersion in nature, an experience that informs the painting. The natural world is alive and wondrous. Being present in nature is a spiritual experience that I share through painting. Painting is a meditation on nature akin to poetry – haiku in paint..
