Artist Statement:
Water bodies of various types have played an important role throughout my life. Starting with my childhood summers at ‘No Name Pond’, or sailing on the English Channel and kayaking on the Hudson River (about 25 times each summer for the last 30 years), it was inevitable that there be a nautical focus in much of my artwork. I am endlessly fascinated with the magic of the sky and the water and the interaction they have with much that has been built along the edges.
The selection of work in this exhibit is a small sample of the various roles that waterfronts have had in my work. Besides being on the water, painting of waterfronts remains one of the top pleasures in my life.
