As long as I can remember I have always been drawing and painting. When I was in the fourth grade a visiting art teacher came to my school, gave us tempera paints and asked us to paint landscapes on the side of corrugated cardboard sheets where the ribs were exposed. Form was suggested as much by the painted area as what was left out. This was a revelation to me at the time. And this equal importance of positive and negative space has stayed with me. This recent group of paintings was inspired by walks in the forest and the urban forest. the physical act of applying paint to canvas or panel is keen in my mind while acting. Music is important as a subject in the work.
