I painted this on a poplar board, leaving the natural wood around the oil paint raw. Some of the shapes/colors of the wood grain are echoed in the shapes of the paintings. The row of geometric oil paintings functions like "windows" -- brief glimpses into my mind. The imagery vaguely alludes to a landscape -- gray foggy sky, cross-sections of earth, swirling air currents or water, fierce sunlight, and sprouting forms. I apply my paint without brushes, pushing it across the surface and wiping it away in places to achieve both opacity and transparency. There are physical gaps between the painted shapes where raw white gesso shows through as a linear element. I am fascinated by compartments, containers, gaps, and boundaries.

I create compartmentalized oil paintings on surfaces such as discarded wood scraps, prepared paper, or canvas. The paintings are what I call "mental landscapes" -- both evoking nature and an internal abstract world. I think of each compartment as a window -- a small glimpse of something bigger beyond the visible. The rows of painted segments represent time lapses, and may function sequentially like an abstract comic book. The segments often wrap around the surface, terminate unexpectedly and disappear. My studio is located on the dynamic Space Coast of Florida. I'm currently Professor of Art at Eastern Florida State College, where I teach Drawing, Painting, and Design.
