I am a figurative oil painter working in the New Old Master style, adapting the method of layer-painting to contemporary subjects. It’s a flexible language that holds great promise.

You'll find works in other media here as well, particularly watercolor.

And there's a film. For some time I’ve puzzled over how figurative art works its magic. I put a few ideas into a 20-minute video—“The Painter’s Vision.” Watch it if you’re so inclined. Any feedback will be welcome.


Shown here: "Sunday's Rest" (detail), oil on linen, 28 x 46 in., 2011.

The painting is part of The Mill Children, a traveling multidisciplinary exhibition about child labor in early-twentieth-century textile mills. The show has already appeared at the Eclipse Mill Gallery in North Adams, MA and the Bennington Museum in Bennington, VT. Now on view at the Charles River Museum in Waltham, MA until June 15, 2012. See it if you're in the Boston area!
