Goethe wrote, “Music is liquid architecture; Architecture is frozen music.” I am a painter, an architect, and a classical musician (composer, singer, pianist, and organist). This painting is one of a series in which I combine these interests. The underpainting (in red) is a cross-section and partial floor plan of Thomas Jefferson's self-designed home, Monticello. The text includes passages from the Declaration of Independence and the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, both penned by Jefferson. The figures evoke Jefferson's plan for the University of Virgina, for surveying and colonizing the Louisiana Purchase, and the famous Houdon bust of him. Across the bottom is an extract from a violin sonata by composer Arcangelo Corelli, known to have been a favorite of Jefferson's. The painting's title comes from the county where Jefferson was born and where Monticello is located, Albemarle, which is derived from the Latin "alba Maria," or White Mary. The canvas is finished on all edges and arrives ready to hang, no framing required.

A native of San Antonio, I recently lived in San Francisco for 18 years and previously lived in New York and Paris. I am deeply committed to city culture both today and through the centuries, especially through the lenses of architecture, music, literature, history, and of course, art. While I appreciate abstraction and distilling to essences, I am more excited by the richness of complex layering and simultaneous meanings.
