I'm a contemporary representational painter working mainly in oils and watercolors. My subjects are people and landscapes: people in sometimes highly contrived situations (though sometimes not); landscapes from places I've lived over the years, especially Maine, Long Island, California, and the Berkshires of Massachusetts.

My other pursuit is philosophical-scientific: understanding how representational paintings function as first-person reports of artists' conscious experience.

In the Links section (above), you'll find a 20-minute film titled “The Painter’s Vision" that introduces my theoretical work. There’s also “Representational Painting and Consciousness,” a published paper; and talks I’ve given at conferences in Tucson, La Jolla, and Miami.
