Invocation<\/em> is the title of my show at the Art Gallery of Bancroft<\/a>.  I have sixteen large paintings \u2014 mostly brand new \u2014 which depict my feelings of intimacy and belonging to the northern environment where I now reside.
\nI am leading a workshop at the gallery on Sunday April 23 called
\u201cLiberate your Landscapes\u201d <\/a>about creating personal and painterly work from your photos.<\/p>\n

This is my exhibition statement:<\/p>\n

Invocation<\/strong>
\n<\/strong>[in-vuh-key-shuh n]
\nnoun
\n1. the act of
invoking<\/a> or calling upon a deity, spirit, Muse, etc., for aid, protection, inspiration, or the like.
\nFor all my painting life, I\u2019ve been a painter of landscapes: big skies, open vistas, distant woods and evocative atmospheres. And all my life, I\u2019ve lived in the city. That landscape was something I dreamed of, and longed to be in, and would head to at any opportunity.
\nAnd now I live here, in the place I\u2019ve always painted. And there has been a subtle shift in what I paint \u2013 no longer are my landscapes dreamy, distant, idealized places, but real, rugged and textured. My muse lives in these woods, and I am feeling the roughness of the bark, I\u2019m hearing the rustlings and chirrupings, and smelling the brackish water of the bog. I am now a part of the place I paint.<\/p>\n
