Summer Show

2025

This exhibition brings together paintings of animals drawn from daily encounters in rural Vermont. Rather than portraits, these works present distilled forms—suggestions of instinct, movement, and quiet awareness shaped through layered, weathered surfaces.

In this series, I paint animals not as portraits but as distilled forms—suggestions of movement, alertness, and instinct. Through painting, scraping, sanding, and reworking layers, I seek a worn surface that blurs the line between representation and memory. A grouse crouched low, a crow at watch, songbirds in flight—each becomes a meditation on perception, gesture, and texture. Within this balance of control and chance, the paintings come alive.

Many of these exhibitions grow out of ongoing themes and studio projects explored elsewhere on the site.

Works shown in past exhibitions may be in private collections; current works are noted as available and may be viewed on the Paintings pages or by inquiry.
