Froggwell Garden, in Four Seasons

My work is concerned with both the depiction and examination of my surroundings. Over the years I have portrayed the places I have traveled, as well as my more immediate surroundings. This body of work celebrates the entire year as viewed through the vehicle of a garden. We tend to think of gardens at the height of spring and summer bounty, but gardens have beauty and interest all year long, if we stop and look for it. It has been my privilege to observe Froggwell Garden for more than a decade. I hope I have done justice to it.

I have worked in watercolor, acrylic, pencil, etchings, lithography, and monoprint media. Currently, my focus is oils on linen, as well as printmaking. Each of these different media has taught me things that then are brought to the other media that I have worked in. I don’t believe I can ever say that I will never work in this or that medium again, because you just never know. I make my decisions based on what that particular medium has to contribute to the image and concept that I am portraying.

My oil paintings are created on linen. The frames are designed and hand finished by the artist. Works of art in different scales allow the artist and the viewer to interact with them in different ways. A small painting is like a poem or a short story. It is one small glimpse into an artist’s vision.
