“The onset of Covid presented new challenges, resulting in a year-long hiatus from painting and a lot of drawing in isolation, mostly ink landscapes veering into abstraction. As conditions improved and mobility became less constrained, I began to paint again and embarked on a new period marked by increasing abstraction and expanded color palettes, almost exclusively on square, unframed panels. The results are presented in this show, all of the paintings completed in 2021. I think it’s the most cohesive group of paintings I’ve ever shown.”
