Annie Acrylic on canvas 24 x 36 As with all my phosphorescent artwork, Annie is two pieces of art- one by day, another by night. The daylight piece is inspired by my love of blues and yellows together. This piece is dominated by my favorite shade of electric blue, and the texture catches the eye as you move past it. The glow-in-the-dark composition is made mostly of my own recipe very bright blue and aqua phosphorescents- which glow all night and shed light at different speeds so the piece changes over time. If you want to see the full glory of the phosphorescent pigments, expose the painting to sunlight or another UV light source. It will still glow nicely however after absorbing ordinary, even dim, room light, but the colors won’t be as vivid. The photo doesn’t show the texture and the light-catching qualities of the various pigments, though the close-up photo gives a slightly better indication. The work features a variety of textures, from mat to enamel, along with glitter, translucent and metallic paints. I have a theory that we are visually drawn to things that sparkle because our ancestors didn’t have faucets; they had to be alert for the sparkle of life-giving water wherever they roamed. My eyes like shiny things, so I risked falling into the abyss of “kitsch” and made this piece sparkle! The layout was mostly freehand (with a few pencil lines to keep me on track), so it has an organic feel even though it is composed of mostly straight lines.

The driving force of my art is curiosity. Each piece begins with the question “What if?” What if I use these colors, textures, materials, techniques, or objects together? Each work is a surprise package I get to slowly open. I study art, and in my head I divide the field between decorative art that people want in their homes, which is great, and “arty” art that is innovative, original, and sometimes gallery-worthy. I often fail but generally aim for the elusive territory between the two- attempting to create things pleasing to the eye that people might want to live with, while pushing out boundaries for both everyday and more sophisticated art lovers. A unique recurring feature of most of my work is the inclusion of photoluminescent strontium aluminate doped with rare earths. I make the pigments myself for maximum luminance. The works are thereby two compositions, one by day and a second, rather magical composition that appears at night. I employ super-bright child-safe minerals that shed light for 10 to 20 hours after exposure to any visible light, and that continue to be “re-excitable” for decades. I do not have a single style because my relentless curiosity leads me in many directions as I constantly explore new materials, tools, techniques, and “What if?” questions.
