This painting is oil. Oil paint has such a distinctive feel. I am sure that 's why it hasn't died out. It is so sensual and feels so luxurious as you pull your brush across the canvas. The paint pulls back at the hand, just a little, almost as if it were challenging you, questioning you, playing with you. I switch back and forth between acrylic and oil because sometimes I just have to breathe. Acrylic is light and open and fast. It is straightforward and direct. Pass/fail.Oil is temperamental, slow, moody. You have to coax it, to seduce it almost. It seeps into your soul and takes you over. I have a romance with acrylic. I have an obsession with oil. This year in particular has made me think about how perceptions can vary. Different people may consider a concept, a work of art or a belief system completely differently. I am continuously surprised when I find myself holding an opinion that is diametrically opposed to that of a friend. I am learning how precious it is to be able to hold equanimity and nuance and to appreciate other points of view. One person may need intense color in their daily environment while another may prefer pale neutrality. One person may crave both. Or neither. It's ok. This painting can be hung vertically or horizontally. It's up to the collector. Either way is ok. Arrives ready to hang.

I make abstract paintings. Many of them are monochromatic color field pieces. Some of them are made using a brighter louder palette and some are quieter and neutral. My process can best be described as playful exploration in search of deeper connection. I work intuitively, intertwining properties of form, color and light into various arrangements that are intended to elicit an emotional resonance in the viewer. The work spans a range of emotions from quiet reflection to exuberant joy. In my quest to connect I use a variety of techniques and media. I am constantly drawn to experiment with new materials and new compositions. I feel that I am a conduit for my materials. I am in a dance with the paint. There is a slow drag of the brush across the canvas with oil. Waterborne media are faster and more dynamic, interacting with gravity for splashes and drips. I want my subconscious to bypass my ego and drive the work. This is why I paint; to discover something completely unplanned, surprising and beautiful. I studied Art History at Princeton, as well as painting, under Michael David, Harvey Quaytman and Heidi Gluck but particularly under the tutelage of Sean Scully who was my thesis show advisor. I studied Critical Theory under David Shapiro, himself a student of Meyer Shapiro, and and while I thoroughly enjoy a good critical shredding, in the end, art is good if you, the viewer, like it.
