Refuge - 12" x !2" on gold leaf covered cradled birch panel

“These paintings are much more about intuition and process than some of my other work. Often combining the shimmer and luminescence of metal leaf with paint, these paintings hover somewhere between abstract and realistic.  Inspired by oceans, rivers, and mountains, these interpretations use multiple layers -- modeling paste, metal leaf, paint, glazing, and varnish. My desire is to create contemporary works with multiple levels of engagement -- beauty of place as well as of color, composition, and texture.”    -- JM
