About the Artist

Artist's Statement

There is this inexaustible industrial beauty of the Baltimore Harbor. Each day the same view of the harbor skyline has so many different personalities depending on the time of day, time of year, weather. Infinite combinations of the landscape elements in a working port present an ever-fresh subject.

Chunky Highlights is titled for both the ones on the water, and the chunky highlights Baltimore Hon's have in their hair.
The Planet Uranus was inspired by Uranus transiting into Taurus again after 84 years, and my interest in astrology.
Painted during the last night of a long relationship in four hours.
Mars and the Moon close in the Southwestern sky.
There is an optical illusion sometimes visible over the ocean at sunrise. As the Sun pulls up and over the horizon, for a few moments it appears to be dragging another Sun behind it. Caused by the atmospheric conditions this second Sun never fruly rises but you can see the top portion of it. One morning these two suns fused together and appeared to me as a giant keyhole in the horizon, the sky and ocean flowing into it, this gaping hole in our horizon into some other world.
