Artist’s Statement

Contradictions first appeared in my work 45 years ago. Having completed a pastel describing a primordial dream world that featured a giant conch sitting in a small puddle, I felt compelled to add bitter to the sweet, idyllic composition by putting a moth on the dark side of a green crystal mountain range. I dislike moths.

I continued to investigate the opposition of objects and thoughts almost surreptitiously in my reality-based work. Most recently, I am looking at the curious contradictions with which we all live in a much more obvious way, using a more abstract expression. Contradictions are now my prime subject. I have turned to our natural environment and the effects we humans exert on it. Sometimes we work in concert with nature; other times we destroy it. Sometimes it overpowers us; other times we use and control it.

Therefore, I am painting surrealscapes.
