From The Artist

“The Freighter Paintings can be thought of as metaphorical portraits in which I use ships to symbolize strength, the power of will, and a war weary vulnerability - all at the same time. I hope they bring-to-mind the metaphorical journey that constitutes each individual lifetime, likening it to the passages of a ship on the ocean.

The Towers Series is inspired by the numerous industrial sites we have seen by boat. These man-made structures with an implied human presence, mysterious function, and reference to the foibles of industry, speak to me on several levels. I am currently exploring how linear marks linear structures can “hold their own” and gain power over the surrounding painted background.”
