ARTIST'S STATEMENT  
I've recently returned to painting after a decade hiatus in which I worked as an arts administrator and educator. I've been inspired by the light, landscape, and sublime forms of Maine after moving here four years ago. My current project is to represent everyday moments of inspiration, such as a quality of light, a seasonal change, human gesture, or intriguing space. With careful study, and perceptual emphasis on light, atmosphere, space, color and compositional harmonies, I attempt to capture the essence of those moments into a painting. I find inherent wisdom in nature's organization and create paintings that hopefully reflect that wisdom and demonstrate both my internal sensibilities and suggest a personal narrative. -BW 2/09.
