My art practice is based in abstraction using impasto techniques with an emphasis on color and rich texture. My interpretation of landscape is rooted in geometric shape-making, applying broad spatula strokes across the canvas. I strive for restraint and a quiet minimalism that may allow the viewer space for their own interpretation. I paint landscapes - paisaje in Spanish - that are, in part, informed by the work of non-figurative painters in Argentina between the 1940’s and 1970’s.
Inspiration from my own life ranges from the time I lived in the Catamarca Mountains in Argentina, riding horses for days across verdant landscapes, to living in Brooklyn and finding beauty in the shapes of shipping containers dotted along the New York Bay, and now returning again to the natural world around our cabin in the Adirondack Mountains.
