The Boys II - Wired

While at Mass College of Art some time ago, I found a love of printmaking—in particular, the serigraph. During a nearly 25 year hiatus from the studio, despite attending multiple workshops on watercolor, acrylic and oil painting, I ultimately returned to printmaking and settled most recently on the monotype process. The monotype offers a spontaneity that is unduplicated in any other medium I've encountered—for what the artist may envision is rarely what is printed, allowing new visions and new manners of artistic expression to attain those visions … or not.
Much of my work incorporates the experience of color—its depth, nuances, evocation of emotion—in the manner of the color field and abstract expressionist artists of the 50's and 60's. Mark Rothko, Helen Frankenthaler, Richard Diebenkorn, Morris Louis, Kenneth Noland and others provide the vocabulary from which I produce compositions that seek to evoke a deep emotional or intellectual response.
The foundations for my compositions are often times based on nature or music and are produced using many layers of color to produce profundity, intensity, playfulness, or movement. I find the monotype process calming and exasperating, straightforward and complex, cerebral and intuitive and always, always a challenge.
