A personal note about this piece:

When I lived in the West Village in NYC in the 90’s I noticed the quickly disappearing remnants of old piers on the Hudson. By the time I decided to document a particular view in a painting the pier was already gone. This painting was done completely from memory with an impression of looking across the Hudson River from the West Village to New Jersey. The posts stand as monuments to another time.  –Æ

A personal note about this piece:

Behind THE CLARK Museum in Williamstown, MA visitors can stroll through the pastoral fields of Stone Hill. I have frequented the rolling farm with my dog many times—often when the cows have been released to pasture. Several years in the making, this painting puts the viewer right into the scene, surrounded by the circular movement and friendly gazes of the animals. –Æ

A personal note about this piece:

Growing up in Guatemala, I occasionally visited Antigua, Guatemala. The city holds remnants of architecture built in the 1500’s by Spanish conquistadors and eventually destroyed by a series of earthquakes beginning in the 1700’s. This painting is of the ruins of the Church of Santa Rosa de Lima built in 1570 for a sisterhood known for their white clothing. Visiting this structure in the 90’s I was drawn to the contrast of the remaining intricate façade coupled with the hauntingly vacant internal space—once a dome, and now open to the sky and the elements.

Painted with thick layers of oil paint applied with a palette knife, the surface quality replicates the cracked plaster of the actual structure. Thematically, I added the raven to signal a spiritual presence coupled with a shadow of the past. –Æ

A personal note about this piece:

In Richmond, MA, there is a rambling brook surrounded by pastoral fields and running beneath the Housatonic train line.. For a short time, I lived on the other side of those train tracks and frequently walked my dog past this view. One day, I passed by and noticed the moon in the sky and was immediately struck with the inspiration to immortalize the moment. I had an antique steel frame that I had been saving for years, and I decided this painting would be the perfect subject for it. –Æ

A personal note about this piece:

This painting depicts a Mayan legend originating from a remote area in the Guatemalan highlands where I spent my childhood. According to local accounts, angry gods hurled a large boulder to destroy a city’s wicked ways, resulting in a crater that later filled with water, forming Lake Chichoj. At the bottom of the lake, the old city and a bound serpent lay waiting to be revealed—only during the rare occurrence of a full moon in a clear sky at the turning hour of a new calendar year. Viewers of the painting find themselves in those conditions, standing at the water’s edge and peering into a vision.

The painting includes the plumed vision serpent Qʼuqʼumatz (commonly related to Quetzalcoatl), a key mythological Mayan deity associated with water and the underworld.

Painted primarily with palette knives, thick layers of blue provide a luminescent depth, as well as surface reflections. The painting evolves dramatically under changing light conditions, revealing an endless surprise of secrets. –Æ
