New Work At AMZehnder Gallery

    My new show, Fieldwork: A Walker’s Perspective, is open at AMZehnder Gallery! It includes over 50 new paintings from this summer. There will be an artist reception on Saturday, 30 August 2025 from 5 – 7 PM. The following Saturday, September 6th, there will be an artist talk at 5 PM. AMZehnder Gallery is at 25 Bank Street in Wellfleet MA.   My artist statement for the show:   I walk with people. I walk alone. To come to presence, I sometimes engage a mediation: With one footfall I say, “I am here.” With the next, “I have arrived.” This simple recitation allows me to shed the noise in my head and begin the process of seeing. Just as I try to paint everyday, I try to walk everyday. Walking and painting are embodied practices. Both engage the full range of my body’s ability to move, as well as bring attention to my capacities and my relationship with my environment. At this point in my life, the practice of walking and the practice of painting are somewhat indistinguishable — more like the sides of a coin than separate things.   I’m often asked whether I painting on-site or from photographs, but this question misses the point. Fieldwork is my process of spending time in a place, looking deeply, taking notes, and allowing the place to soak into my body. This allows me to bring meaningful experience into the studio — and to ultimately work more intuitively. The paintings in this show are the result of looking and seeing Cape Cod over the past decade. They present vistas and pathways I frequent regularly, as well as places I’ve stumbled upon with delight. These are places I analyze and observe but, more frequently than not, they are also places within my dreams and imagination.
