» Title: Purity’s PlotThis image is a rendering of a photograph, which is considered to be decisive proof of a much contested event in the year 1994 over the corner of Chartres and Frenchmen street in New Orleans on Christmas Day.  Two angels were sited hovering for an indeterminate period of time, after which they left to do something good for the world. jm

Artists' Statement

My style is an abstraction of the figurative. I like color, volumetric shape and graphic lines. While one knows my subject one knows more fully the spirit of the subject.. I take my liberties and express my emotions in a poetic interpretation. The abstractions facilitate a direct expression of the core essence of my subject.

Currently, I paint the river Grosne. I use this subject to explore the essence of the countryside and nature. On one level the subject is the Grosne, and the profound question is how to present a landscape in its true complexity and vividity. Therefore I am working to find a visual language to express the inherent beauty and complexity of nature without trivializing it.
