ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Art and life intersect in their capacity to nurture mind, body and spirit in this colorful still life oil painting of artichokes. The horizontal painting captures a play of textures and colors in both the artichoke and its surrounding space. A palette of beautiful greens, golds, and deep violet hues engage the senses with shapes and patterns for the mind to explore. The direct and simplistic style accentuates the beauty of form in its purest nature infusing a bit of wonder and delight as part of the painting's aesthetic. Inspiration for this still life was the opportunity to work with artichokes as a point of interest. They are one of my favorite childhood vegetables. Interestingly when I completed the painting and was considering a title, I realized the artichoke is native to the Mediterranean and is actually an edible flower.

ARTISTS STATEMENT: I observe, and participate in, the change of hues. I stand alone in a perspective—influenced by the roads and detours that I’ve chosen. The subjects I interpret on canvas dance with tradition, but underneath exists an individual search for freedom. As a creator, I’ve always been interested in working with color. I see my life as having a palette of its own and I seek to have the chroma of my experiences come through in my paintings. Over time, I’ve realized the only way to achieve this goal is to risk exposure—to unveil my simplified forms to the viewer. Whether the forms operate within the context of landscape or still life, the resulting narrative is always a story of merit, regardless of public perception or understanding. BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION: I was born in Vancouver, BC in 1958 and then moved to California which is where my parents originally met. I lived there until I was 6 when my family moved across the US to New Jersey for my father's work. I grew up in a creative family and pursued art in college only to leave it upon graduation, dabbling with it over the years that followed. In 2010 I returned to painting on a more committed basis. This was spawned by some significant life changes and painting became my respite. I still reside in New Jersey and as an artist I appreciate the proximity to both Philadelphia and New York City. I've been showing my work since 2011 and continue to do so.
