About
Introduction
For ten years (1990-2000) I made objects and installation. This has informed my paintings which I see as the extension of an engagement with architectural interiors at night. The spaces I paint have some kind of function or potential function. The figures are engaged or absorbed in an aspect of this function.
The works in the Paintings category are the ones shown at England and Co. in the winter of 2010.
Technique
All paintings unless otherwise stated are egg tempera on gesso panel. For more information on egg tempera, its manufacture and history, please go to www.eggtempera.com
Prices
Many of the Paintings are for sale. Please contact me for prices.
