ON EXHIBITION. Part of my solo show at Firehouse Arts Center in Pleasanton, California in Spring of 2024. Framed in an 2-inch deep white solid wood floater frame. Total dimensions are 50 x 50” . Available after May 1, 2024. There is nothing more hopeful than a sunrise. This is a painting of the negative space, the warm yellow sky, rather like a woodcut or block print. The turquoise of the branches is a watery, sheer under layer and the thicker butter yellow light-filled sky was painted over the blue slowly in layer after layer scrubbed on to let a bit of the dark behind it show through. The dark under the light makes the sky glow like a sunrise behind trees at dawn.

The distant blue hills of my “Faraway Hills” series are ever-present fixtures in my real life. Down below is the bay and above is an endless web of tree branches. Their silhouettes have etched themselves into my memory. My paintings and prints are always nature-inspired and nearly always monochromatic. Having spent a decade as a printmaker making woodcuts, linocuts, etchings, aquatints and monotypes, my mind works in monochrome. I focus on a single color, composition, positive and negative space, pattern, lines and shape. I currently work in two mediums, acrylic painting and cyanotypes, a form of camera-less photography. Cyanotypes are a 19th century form of lensless photography also known as photograms, blueprints and sun prints. They resemble block prints or etchings but use no ink nor printing press. Light “etches” the image on paper I had painted with light-sensitive chemicals. MY NEWEST SERIES OF ABSTRACT CYANOTYPES: My technique is a form of experimental photography, much like the action painters Morris Louis, who poured his veil paintings, or Jackson Pollock who dripped and drizzled his. My abstract cyanotypes are luminous like watercolor paintings but are actually photographs. Each is a multiple-exposure lensless photograph make through deliberate movements of the light-sensitive paper during exposure to light. Different sections of the paper were exposed to light for a longer or shorter time, yielding multiple shades of blue. Each abstract cyanotype is entirely unique. These same lines, shapes and shades of blue cannot be recreated as the exposure of the paper was heavily manipulated by me during each printing. A traditional single-exposure cyanotype yields a white silhouette against a dark blue background.
