The paintings on these pages represent the best of my work from the last dozen years. The subject matter of my paintings is simple, often domestic, and usually specific to my own life, but the issues I attempt to portray are human and universal: solitude, intimacy, isolation, comfort.
The work on the site is divided into several sections. (Access them by clicking on the Portfolio.) The Trailer Series contains paintings that focus on the themes that matter to me, set in rooms I have lived in. Pink Bathrobe collects a number of paintings with the bathrobe as a prop or costume. There are additional paintings of people in the Figure folder; watercolor and acrylic paintings (some nudes) and drawings in Works on Paper; paintings of eastern Carolina marshes and fields in the Landscape folder; and earlier work in the Archive.
Recent paintings, work in progress, experiments with materials, subjects and methods, as well as occasional studio notes about paint and process are in my
blog.
