This series of work were derived from the paintings of Fredrick Church. I related to the way Church constructed his paintings by piecing together various vignettes (sketches) from his travels into grand scale epic paintings. My tact was to isolate , amplify, and manipulate in a computer those small detail elements to make them the sole focus of the work. I was also interested in contrasting the hand-made mark with the machine-made mark. This was accomplished by first having the images printed on canvas, and then hand painting in acrylic on top of that print. Here are some of the paintings. I have included some installation shots of the work mounted at Inman Gallery in Houston, TX. and The Contemporary Arts Center in New Orleans, LA.
