Artist Statement: For the last dozen years I have been mesmerized by the ships I see from my studio window at Pier 70 in San Francisco. The particular light & weather conditions of the bay create an ever-changing scene, shrouding & illuminating the ships & water in ways that continue to fascinate me. Sometimes ghostly & glimmering, sometimes glowing in the full glory of sunlight, the ships are like large still lives on a liquid surface, sublime, mysterious, & full of longing. Industrial yet romantic, large cargo ships seen from far away are imbued with poetry. While the shipping industry is heavily laden with associations of environmental disaster, pollution, & globalization, the ships themselves are symbols of freedom & new horizons. To me, they are formidable, proud & beautiful, & they keep appearing & disappearing in new ways that stretch my way of seeing. I drag & scrape the color with broad strokes, delving deeper with paint into the emotional seascape that presents itself every day, as the vessels traverse the scene, or rest for a while at anchor until their next adventure.
