In the portrait work I try to make manifest a sense of the personality of the sitter with
color. I frequently leave a halo surrounding the figure which seems to me like an aura.
I have been fascinated with the Radiation Field Photography that has been done in recent
years and I try to capture that Kirlian effect matching the sitters aura with the colors
I see. I like to garden and I love nature. The flowers and landscapes are an expression of
that love.
Dinner and a Movie Series
They say "paint what you love". For the last few years I have been painting a
series of Movie houses and places to eat. Movies and food, two things I like a lot.
An hour or two of vicarious living away from the every day world and something good to eat: bliss.
When I was 3 or 4 my big brother took me to my first Saturday matinees. Afternoons of hilarity
with Charlie Chaplin and Keystone Kops and a series of "Perils of Pauline", no wonder I grew up
with an insatiable love of movies -

Angel Paintings
The
Angel Painting is one of a series of 10 paintings I did in response to my
daughters death on Sept. ll, 1992.
It is painted in Acrylic. The metallic and reflective colors I used do not print true
and these prints are hand embellished.
