I recently finished this painting, entitled Multiple Drafts (acrylic on corner canvas, 24 x 12 inches).  The title refers to a theory of consciousness by Daniel Dennett.  Although it’s hard to tell in the online image, this piece consists of perhaps a dozen layers of marks each separated by a thin, glossy glaze layer.  Some of the areas that “pop” the most are in fact the most deeply buried physically in the paint layers.

The August 12, 2009, issue of the U.S. 1 newspaper has a very nice, detailed profile about my artwork by Susan Van Dongen.  U.S. 1 is the business and entertainment newspaper of the Princeton area Route 1 corridor.  You can read the text version on their site here or you can click on the preview below for a larger image of the newspaper, reproduced with permission of the author.  Don’t forget there’s an opening reception this Friday night (August 14) from 6-9pm for the group show, “Dreaming,” at Gallery 125 in Trenton (125 South Warren Street, Trenton, NJ).
