Monotypes + Monoprints
My monotypes and monoprints are one of a kind works on paper that combine various layers of information, pigmented digital printing, glazing, stamps and stencils, hand - work and 19th and 20th century printmaking technology. Monoprints are distinguished from monotypes.  A monoprint incorporates a repeatable aspect, while monotypes do not.

Oil + Acrylic
I paint from direct observation, photographs, and memory using traditional oil painting techniques on canvas and on canvas over panel. Acrylic paintings are on paper over panel. I often work in series, selecting subjects for variation in diptych and triptych format structures, expressive of narrative. My paintings are often transformations and distillations of selected images generated in other media.

Watercolor + Gouache
Watercolors and gouaches are of two types: some are direct plein air paintings of the sea, rocks and other subjects on Monhegan Island, Maine; others are narrative, figurative works that juxtapose imagery in diptych or triptych formats. Imagery for monotypes and monoprints as well as for oil or acrylic paintings often come from "studies" that first appear in watercolor and gouache.

Lithographs
James Reed at Milestone Graphics in Bridgeport, CT, using both stone and plate lithography processes, printed the limited edition of 10 colored lithograph, Baja and Monhegan. The diptych image contrasts east coast and west coast fishermen. In 2009, Father to the Man, a limited edition colored lithograph, edition 10, was completed. In this image a boy on the stern of a ship catches his first fish, while on the adjoining panel, men fish for tuna with a bamboo pole and hook.
