first 10 of 20 small paintings (9" x 12")

I have a new studio space in a Hamaroey kulturskole klasserom. I am very happy there. I usually start a painting outside and finish it inside. I am finding a nice balance between wandering and collecting visual information on site and resolving things in a studio setting. I hope to finish the 9" x 12" paintings by Tuesday and will then begin working on a few larger pieces on stretched linen.

Artist Statement 6/1/11

I seek opportunities to explore and experience. A strong connection to my surroundings compels me to investigate the landscape’s layered complexity and to search for orientation and meaning in its mysterious vastness. My work reveals aspects of both visual space and mythical space. My paintings and drawings reveal the richness which is beyond visual experience, only accessible through imagination and intuition. My experience of place has evolved from an appreciation of its natural beauty to a deeper connection with its primeval spirit.

It is my intention to express the primal essence of place. My work mediates spatial experience and facilitates imagined wandering. My paintings ultimately become both cartographic artifacts of individual experiences and vehicles for sharing. The work does not present a single vista from a fixed perspective. My paintings function as paths rather than windows, opportunities for visual meandering through imagined space. Organic forms merge with architectural forms. Abstract linear elements anchor, suspend, connect and support. The pause and flow of painterly gesture perpetuates the viewer’s journey.
