About Me

My Photo
The idea for COLOR BRIDGES came from many sources. Portland State College 1962,Professor Frederick Heidel's first painting assignment was to make a grid and explore mixing colors to arrange on the grid to see how they would look. Moving these painted pieces of paper on different backgrounds bring back 4 years of studying painting with Heidel. Each arrangement I have made are like his assignments. They have a goal of basics while allowing the emotions freedom. Another source was Professor Mary MacIntire at Western Washington University who was a member of Fiber Design and I had the honor of photographing for a statement about her process. She used to move around pieces of colored paper to design her fiber works.

Crooked River, Oregon


To repaint or not to repaint is a question? This painting is at least ten years old. I have repainted it several times in the past. It was started on an overnight camping trip in late October.
I am very much distanced from the first outdoor painting experience. Yet this extreme distance allows for making it an internal distillation similar to arranging flowers. This is an acrylic painting on canvas 32" x 18".
