I am a practicing full-time artist living in Provincetown with deep ties to the Provincetown Art Association and Museum and the Fine Arts Work Center. I have always drawn and have painted landscapes in watercolor while working as an architect and city planner. It was moving to Provincetown and becoming part of the arts colony that has shifted my medium from water-based paint to oil. I have also become influenced by the artists of Provincetown, past and present and my work changed as a result.
My practice begins in sketchbooks – loose, animated pencil and ink drawings that I bring into the studio as reference and inspiration for formal paintings with oil on canvas. I did a series of works on the old Herring Cove Bath House before the structure was demolished in 2012. That work led to the “Above It” series in 2014 and 2015. Now, with the “Town Pier Series,” the boundaries and forms of my townscapes are pushed and pulled with flat and textured planes of color, buildings tumbling down on each other in our dense, compacted coastal town at Land’s End. Hopper, Thibaud, Diebenkorn, and Nicholas De Stael are significant influences for my current work.
