About

I make paintings and photomontages, plus I interview other artists and writers on KBOO. I have lived in London (the 70s), San Francisco (the 80s) and New York (the 90s). Now I live in Portland, Oregon. My two latest bodies of work are the Targets and the Anonymous Women in collage and Drape, a seven painting installation.

Here is my statement regarding Drape:
My goal in painting is to create an experience you feel as opposed to a composition you read. I treasure an infinite space. With this new body of work, I left behind the grid and embraced an ongoing line, not dissimilar to Brancusi's Endless column. The show at Augen Gallery held 7 30 inch square paintings. The works function on their own, but also work as pairs, triptychs and totems. I like it best however as they are seen on this site.
