I'm so pleased to be part of a two-person show with
Bob Collins at
the
Danforth Museum School's Round Room Gallery coming up in January.
Bob and I have been teachers together at the Danforth school for the
past 12 years! Since I first met him all those years ago, I've continued to marvel at his boundless energy and creative ideas as a teacher. He's never
failed to be a generous and genial colleague.

In addition to our professional experiences, Bob and I share many aesthetic sensibilities. We both work abstractly, with little if any reference to
actual subject matter. We both rely on a plain black-and-white
palette, occasionally punctuated with color. We both work on a square format, so as to give all the elements equal weight. While we speak the same language, however, we are saying different things.
Bob's paintings are packed with solid, layered shapes,
while mine show linked loops that are weightless and flowing. Bob is earth; I am air. I believe these factors will make for a strong show of contrasts and commonalities.
