Ninety five percent of my work is nonrepresentational: about the world within trying to make sense of the world without. The representational works shown here of village scenes and landscapes were done on Monhegan Island, Maine in the mid-1990’s, over a period of three consecutive summers. Why I attempted such a departure from my usual efforts might be better understood by visiting the island which has drawn artists to it for nearly two hundred years. The reason for that and my involvement is elusively  beyond its superficial beauty. Whatever the full explanation, it allowed me, for those three brief summers, to have a direct conversation between that interior world and the world without. I suspect there is at least a fourth summer lurking.
