ALCHEMY SERIES
- Alchemy––— a form of chemistry and speculative philosophy practiced in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance and concerned principally with discovering methods for transmuting baser metals into gold.
Artist Statement: In this new series, I am exploring the use of metallic acrylic and wax in both the acrylic and encaustic paintings. In each media, I work in many layers of wax or paint and either scrape or sand the panels to reveal the marks underneath, thus revealing the history of the painting. The paintings are about transformation and are inspired by textures and personal symbols, text, letters, words and past experiences. mrb

Dropping you a note to let you know that at this very moment, you are my favorite living Abstract Artist. The size of all your pieces are ones in which I used to love to work. The thickness of the surface come off well in reproduction. I believe at one point you mentioned that abstraction is a departure from reality. Not that it needs an excuse, but I have been grappling between realism and my need for a justification to lose all sense of representation. So happy to have found your Art.
