A MEMORABLE VISIT (click )
"Li River Anthology" is awaiting exhibition.
photo collage on which paintings are based
This has been a 10 to 12 year project and it is ready for exhibition. There are eight 30" x 36" paintings in mixed media which are linked, flowing from one to the other. A 25 foot wall is required to show this continuous lyric landscape.
I’ve been working with landscape since 1972 when I presented an “Ecological Construction” in an E.A.T. exhibit ( Experiments in Art and Technology) at the High Museum in Atlanta. And I’ve been working with china imagery since a Fulbright trip to China in the Summer of 1994 until 2007. This collection of work documenting that exploration in paint and print and the environment is available for a museum showing. I have called the exhibition “ China On My Mind," and now "A Memorable Visit" There are up to 40 / 45 works available for exibition. The individual paintings for “Li River Anthology” (click on "A Memorable Visit " above and then each individual panel). Other supporting work is available on DVD.
I welcome invitations to exhibit this landscape work especially “Li River Anthology” and/or the related work.

artist statement
In graduate school and afterwards in the 1960's, I was involved in the development of the collagraph, a printmaking technique. I have a fondness for the artist/printmaker's attempts to communicate, but it is to the landscape I have paid attention.
Since 1972 my work in painting, drawing, and printmaking has been caught up with this fascination for the land, with the genre of landscape and with the creation of imaginary vistas. I make use of simple formal devices derived from the grid, and work with a traditional sense of pictorial composition, working with photographs and digital images. I have come to call my methodology "two-part landscape" since two registers are involved in the creation of an image, a kind of dialogue.
