The Archer

screenprint, 10 x 8, 2026

Multicolored screen print inspired by a recent visit to a Spanish palace where archaeologists were restoring a medieval armory and in the process uncovered a room filled with 16th century frescoes. My print attempts to remain faithful to the faded color and textures.

Color and form shape my thoughts and are shaped by them. I work to construct a dialogue and tension between color and form to animate a narrative. If the medium is not the message, it serves--Goya's black and white Disasters of War can't be ignored. Neither can Hockney's serene Yorkshire landscapes bathed in color, and joy. Both remind me that, as Wassily Kandinsky said: 'Every work of art is the child of its age and, in many cases, the mother of our emotions.'

Traveler, historian, artist. Recent work references the history painters and myth makers inspired by artist residencies abroad and in an attempt to unearth ‘ invisible cities’ by reenvisioning them. Landscape is history and these landscapes of the mind shine a light on buried cultural avatars and the ongoing effects of war, dislocation and climate change.
