About Luminous
I am a punster, not a planner – in artmaking and in writing. I see the value of planning, yet it does not seem to be in my nature. I enjoy using a variety of materials in my work – collage, found objects, inks, paints, whatever is of interest. Each of these elements brings something unique to the work and many times they are completely covered up by layers of paint. Everything still exists in the work, even if invisible.
Sometimes people ask how long it takes to make a painting. I say “50 years plus whatever time it took to do this one”. All of our life learning and experience is baked into the art. Even if I don’t paint for an extended period of time, the minute the paint hits the canvas, everything I have learned it right there. Nothing is lost or missed.
