I’m happy to share my piece included in Plants, Animals and Sky @canada.nyc. I’m amazed by the work of the infinitely talented @msgrauer and #wallacewhitney in compiling this extraordinary show. It’s a blessing to be in the same space as many of my all-time favorite painters, including Lois Dodd, Joan Snyder, Katherine Bradford, Marsden Hartley, and George Inness, to name a few, plus so many of my extraordinary contemporary peers.

I paint outdoors to be closer to nature, to listen to it, not to capture it. It is important to me to surrender to my surroundings and let go of art world strategies. That’s partly how the plastic frames came about: doing something wrong that feels right. I embrace this discord and let it move me forward. The plastics I find in excess in the landscape have a weathered patina. It’s almost as if nature is trying to subsume the mess we have made. I’m grateful to be part of this web of artists illuminating their relationships to these subjects in this show. 

Thank you to so many for supporting me, posting stories, and caring. Your consistent love and attention mean the world!!
