This work is a new bold departure to explore a collaboration with Henri Matisse, and my dancer friend Elen who uses a pole for fitness.

“Good artists borrow and great artists steal”- Picasso. With bright light and California color I use 'heavy brush' sensuality to steal Wayne Thiebaud (he taught me how to oil paint). Now, when I paint I feel like an alchemist searching for an unreachable prize- a paradise that I ache and pine for. But of course, there is no paradise. Facing that truth is where the focus of much of my work comes through, with pictures that are physical, modern, earnest, and unsentimental. I experiment with materials restlessly- recklessly? I stole Anselm Kiefer. The most astoundingly deep and existential thrill for me comes when I am finished painting and find that my art is not mine; it just grew on the wall.

The figures have risen from close to the earth (see prior odalisque series) and are unselfconsciously moving expressively on their feet. Still grounded, body and soul, their heads often appear in the clouds. The hilly landscapes in the background are a metaphor perhaps for the primal self, released and free. My friend Elen modeled for these paintings and gets most the credit for inspiring this work. She has an MFA degree in dance, and using a pole has created some fantastically dynamic poses.

In this body of work I am interested in the commonalities and the contrasts that compare the female figure to the coastal hills where I live. The figure is in the landscape, vulnerable and matter-of-fact. Similarities between the two are how the lines rhyme in ways that are a sublime invitation to the imagination, and how the fire adapted, San Francisco Bay Area landscape of renewal compares naturally to a Mother Nature figure. Differences that I think about are how the fragility of flesh contrasts starkly next to rocky volcanic land and sun parched vegetation of twisted manzanita, ticks and poison oak. I also notice our ephemeral inevitability. She is poised next to the old-as-the-hills existential element of time.

I want my charcoal drawings to be as energetic and adventurous as my paintings and to influence and inform each other. Charcoal becomes painterly when it gets wetted with a brush, or smeared with a finger on a drawing, and I have developed a practice of drawing with soft willow vine charcoal directly on top of my oil painting canvases. I attempt to draw landscapes like van Gogh, and figures like Raphael.

传记
我喜欢用凌乱的画笔画出整齐的笔触。我认识 Wayne Thiebaud 是一位来自旧金山湾区的美国艺术家，在加州大学戴维斯分校。“好的艺术家借鉴，伟大的艺术家窃取”，所以我在明亮的灯光下偷走了他“厚重笔触”的性感和加州色彩。油画是我最喜欢的媒介，我经常用厨房搅拌机把它搅拌，用鸡蛋和其他混合物做成一种蛋黄酱般的媒介，我称之为“乳剂”。我不停地尝试各种材料——鲁莽？我偷了安瑟姆·基弗。现在，当我画画时，我感觉自己像一个炼金术士，寻找一个遥不可及的奖品——一个我渴望和向往的天堂。我用网格放大，用图形搜索和搜索。但当然，没有天堂。直面这一真理，正是我大部分作品的焦点所在，我的画作充满形体感、现代感、真挚而又不带任何感伤。最初，我的画作完全非具象，抽象。很快，它们转向描绘远方地平线和黑暗渴望叙事的风景画。如今，舞动的女性已成为我作品的中心，我的绘画似乎正在超越“后现代主义”，走向一个不那么愤世嫉俗和讽刺的境界。如今，我感兴趣的是回归本源，回归后现代的真挚。但对我来说，最令人震撼、最深刻、最存在主义的激动，依然来自于当我意识到自己完成了一幅画，却发现我的艺术并非属于我自己；它只是在墙上生长。
