Celadon ForestI admit that my affinity for tree trunks was elevated by the discovery of painter, Wolf Kahn, in the mid 1980s. I met him while he was artist in residence at Dartmouth College and I was a frame designer at Bean’s Art Store. I was instantly charmed by him and his work. He has produced many wonderful views of the Upper Connecticut River Valley and of forests of trees and their trunks in vivid vibrance. I think that meeting someone of his caliber in the art world and realizing what a kind and humble person he is, was a testament to someone following their dream and their passion in life. It was one of the top ten chapters of my life, especially in that it inspired a direction for me.
A number of my tree studies have been done on my back deck at home, at different times of the day, in different light. If you have ever questioned whether we dream in color, I can assure you that some of my paintings have come from my dreams, and colorful they are.
