My designs emerge from my soul and intuition—my sense of wonder. My most recent abstract works explore energy and movement in the style of abstract lyricism and abstract landscape. Some bring an atmospheric quality while others convey the same dynamic flow found in wood grains, veins through natural stone, or a creek bed when the water ebbs. Other pieces convey an evocative sense of place, perhaps in the vibe of an old-world city, of the mood of a rainy day in New York, or in the swirl of a holiday fete.
I work primarily in acrylic with occasional contributions from other media, such as charcoal pencil, collage, or oil pastels. I build designs in multiple layers of paint, creating rich textures and understory. Painting on birch panels enables me to sand, scratch or scrub layers back to reveal the painting's understory. I begin with a sense of play, being mindful of marks that most delight me, then I follow that trail. (Often, it's the happy accidents that lead the charge!) I know my work nears completion when I sense a connection to some metaphor, memory, or atmosphere. At that point, I stand back with more discernment to examine principles of design, and to edit or eliminate details that distract the eye.
I am also a writer, so an added lyrical element in my work comes through the titles of my paintings, which all suggest stories. I also share short stories about each creation on Social Media, so please follow if you appreciate a good yarn.
I’ve had various creative interests throughout my life, including photography, interior design, gardening, stained-glass window design, and other creative passions. I began my formal painting practice early in 2022. I'm a “self-taught” artist in that I hold no formal degree in art, though I’ve benefited mightily from many workshops, and particularly through intensive coaching and other feedback from artists all over the world through the Art2Life Academy, of which I've been a member since 2022. Since I started painting, I’ve released over 160 works for sale. More than half have found homes with collectors.
"All that Shimmers," "A Marvelous Night for a Moondance" and "Grasshopper Serenade" shown in situ.
Each piece orients horizontally or vertically, allowing for a variety of combinations.
"April Showers"
Acrylic on a 5" x 5" x 1.5" cradled wood panel. The block's natural wood edges are protected with acrylic gesso and a UV grade spray varnish.
Available for $100, including local taxes or shipping at standard rates.
"To Marjorie, With Love"
I gifted this (acrylic on an 8"x8" birchwood panel) to my mother in law, Marjorie Shaw Kubach, an amazing artist in her own right. I hold many of her works in my personal collection.
UPDATE: Marjorie passed at the (stubborn!) age of 102 in Jan 2024. The last painting I own that she renders she painted at 93. It's a sizable water color of a dahlia that hangs in my studio.
Her other son, my brother in law, holds "To Marjorie With Love" in his collection, just as I wished.
