My work is focused on the landscape, primarily the Maine landscape which has been my home for 23 years. I am drawn to high horizons, dramatic scale, and perspectives that involve the viewer from a low vantage point. I choose pastel as my primary medium for its immediacy, buttery texture, and delicious color. I am finding that a limited palette intensifies the vibrancy of this color, and further helps to express scale and texture in a cohesive way.
I also work in monotype, using a gelatin plate. I prefer the gelatin because its flexibility enables even the most subtle of textures to register, and these textures are easily transferred without a press. The monotype process is very liberating, allowing me to experiment widely with color and texture without a preconceived idea. Every print is a surprise, and some are wonderful surprises.
