Waters’ Colours’ is a very abstract, colorful and playful growing  body of work. It is drawn from reflections and is very reflective.

I was born a few hundred feet from “the Big Spring” in Bellefonte, PA, a spring that originally gave Bellefonte its name (Beautiful Fountain).

 

Since birth, environmental awareness, the environment, water and water pollution problems have ebbed and flowed throughout my life.

 

My interests are broad and diverse: Ancient civilizations, customs, cultures, myths, legends, rituals, (sometimes religions) and the people creating and living within and effected by these broader themes interest me, and my work as well as the environment and environmental pollution issues.

 

My work usually is about social issues as seen in 3000 Miles of Acid Mine Drainage in My Backyard. This work, however is free from issues… It is about color, form, contemplation and reflection. It is about learning from and seeing water. It is very abstract, colorful, and playful. Drawn from reflections it is very reflective.

 

As I study water, I have observed how many artists have been influenced by water. Forms in some of my pieces remind me of Monet, Savador Dali, Gustav Klimt, Dr. Suess, Antoni Gaudi, the glass artists of Murano and the paper and print makers in Florence and many others. Water, ever changing and fluid, each new force creates a ripple of pure potential.

 

Created originally for an exhibition in  Antoni Gaudi's Casa Batlo - Barcelona Spain, this work has since been exhibited at multiple venues in London England. Most recently it was exhibited in Oxford England and Miami Florida.
