ARTIST’S STATEMENT
Looking back on 2020:
The year of the Pandemic, George Floyd Protests; Alternative Facts;
Adrift in Introspection and Social Isolation;
Searched my Sketchbooks and Journals for Forgotten Images, Half-baked Ideas, and Random Doodles to develop into paintings;
Returned to Architectural Imagery to affirm my Sense of Place;
The seemingly Haphazard Imagery I painted in 2020 reflects a year of fear, uncertainty, and loss;
The Theme of 2020 was Themelessness; Now it’s time to Move On.
