I have been painting exclusively in my home studio for the past year. Covid-19 stay at home restrictions lead to a decision to work exclusively in water based paint for as long as I continue to paint inside of my home. I began several projects in acrylic on paper that explore the same ideas and imagery pertaining to climate change that I had been working with in my most recent oil paintings. Layering and in-process color mixing necessitated an adaptation to the quickness of these materials.The switch to a water based, and faster drying media has created a new avenue of material and paint application experimentations.

A second body of work exploring the CME and Aurora imagery. This series interprets the theme of the 4 Seasons as a color story.

Inspired by the color studies of Josef Albers, these paintings explore the color relationships and palette of those American Southwest landscapes.

The floating square was used as a repeating element throughout the series.  It contrasts the natural versus the man-made while creating a visual tension between illusionistic space and the two-dimensional picture plane.
