Maps and Charts

Hello and Thank you for your interest in my work. Your comments are welcome!


Maps and Charts are a group of topographical studies of invented space both atmospheric and terrestrial. They are my own personal exploration of the idea of infinity and what the endless path towards it would look like.

I envision infinity as a series of lines, where they begin and continue to go, unrehearsed, rhythmic, sinuous and flowing, - not defining specific form but instead demonstrating speed, energy and direction. The surface on which the lines travel through is thick and bumpy with layers of paint, recalling the various environments along the path to infinity.

Icelandic Horses on Paper

Three Horses with Blue Pine
Three Horses with Blue Pine, 7 x 11 1/2 in. gouache and watercolor pencil on watercolor paper.
Sold today! The buyer and I agree - I have the nicest view from my kitchen window. This painting began as another piece in my Maps and Charts series, then took a turn towards the figurative when I couldn't get these horses out of my head. I got them out of my head and onto the paper, and my new 'patron' couldn't get it out of her head when she saw it first at my friend's frame shop, and again at my studio. This is her second purchase from me. I hope she enjoys it!

Four Icelandic Horses on Blue, 30 x 22, watercolor, gouache, and charcoal on watercolor paper.
My new patron's first purchase. She saw this at the Treadwell Stagecoach Run Art Festival two years ago in Treadwell, NY. I was set up (tent and all) in fellow artist Marie Cumming's driveway. I don't remember meeting her (quite a few people came by), but she remembered this piece. She found me again through my friend Rachel who owns the Frame Shop on Main Street in Delhi, NY. She described my work to Rachel who immediately knew who she was talking about. (For many reasons, it's wonderful to have a friend who frames art! Especially when you're an artist who prefers to paint on paper).
