Thank you so much for your comments! We're still working out the kinks with the photography aspect. My art will be on exhibit at the Goggleworks Cafe Gallery starting July 4, 2014 through August 28, 2014. The exhibit opening is Friday, July 11th from 5:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. -- hope to see you there!

Curator’s Comments:

 

Above the City attracted my attention for its muscular brushwork and dark color palette. (I do wish it was photographed straight on, since it’s difficult to tell if I’m seeing a distortion in the size of the color chunks at this angle.)  But it does appear to have a strong all over textural pattern.  I like what appears to be irregular scumbled knife work against straight edges when the pieces are blocked together. In this way the banded sections organize seemingly random marks, and group short strips of color together for more dominant compositional movement, and changes in visual direction. The painting entitled Complex Emotion also appears to enjoy this broad gestural approach and deep color palette.  The ochre color at the bottom of the piece seems to suspend the darker, weightier brushstrokes above. But again the photography doesn’t appear to do it justice.

(On a side note, I was surprised to see you were from Reading, PA.  I’m sure we must have met at a gallery opening somewhere?)
