I am always looking for new ways to apply the paint. \u003cstrong\u003ePainting and drawing work in unison to form a complete and truthful painting. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe act of painting is a personal journey to find out how I can more fully express my response to my surroundings. Subconsciously, I draw from nature and the world around me to record in a personal language what I see and feel through paint. Color is my primary form of expression, but I also rely on line, form, surface texture, pattern and collage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe process of painting is what interests me \u003c\/strong\u003e– the steps I go through to build up the paint and break it down. I am also concerned with how the elements of the painting play out against each other in an opposing dynamic. For example, what happens if you put a chalky white texture next to a dark transparent field of color? Or, how can a scratched line dashing through a painted line create a new expressive form? When I work, I think about the quality of the painted surface such as: dark against light, smooth versus rough, transparent or opaque, and bold versus subtle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts\u003c\/strong\u003e, Philadelphia, Painting Major, 1993.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe University of Pennsylvania\u003c\/strong\u003e, Philadelphia, Distinction in Art History, B.A, 1983.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNorthwestern University\u003c\/strong\u003e, Evanston, IL, 1979-1980.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCOMPLIMENTARY\u003c\/strong\u003e local pickup in Wayne PA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSHIPPING\u003c\/strong\u003e: Price + Shipping (options available at check-out)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"\"\u003eWorks\u003cstrong\u003e LARGER THAN 48\"\u003c\/strong\u003e may be subject to additional charges.
