ARTIST STATEMENT/BIO: "Painting in the fog is as close to painting nothing as possible. I am most intrigued by the unseen, by the suggested, the half seen, the forgotten. Fog is the perfect vehicle, like night, it holds endless possibilities.
Oil paint is the perfect medium, because it has a versatile, forgiving, and tactile surface. Layers of paint, the ensuing 'pentimento,' create a skin of visited ideas and half seen experiments. A 'finished' oil painting comes with its own history embedded in the paint. Like fog, it keeps its secrets.
To me, art is more about what is not revealed than what is. Negative space is as important as positive. Landscape should not be a passive genre, but an engaging one. A door to the mysterious."
