"By using subtle, vibrating color, the paintings presented in this exhibition are evocative of the natural processes of air or water. These canvases are constructed diptychs, which suggest the mythical dialog of dualities. By using either multi-panel paintings or missing pieces, the paintings exert a physical presence. These sculptural paintings appear simple, but require time to let the subtleties open to the senses. They do not hang passively on the wall, but play with the viewer's spatial awareness. These paintings are quiet, meditative, often humorous, and poetic." (Jill Coldren Gallery, Concord, NH, 2007)
