I move from a moment in nature to the back-story of cities dying and being reborn, to faces/people in the middle of their personal stories. In all instances, if it touches me I need to catch it and express it. And as for my choice of medium, I select each one for how it moves […]

I love to paint. I am drawn irresistibly to the landscape, to its forms and colors and particularly its light, which varies so dramatically throughout the day and throughout the seasons. Beauty is always an important consideration. I cannot paint a subject unless I see something beautiful in it, something that makes me grateful to […]
Mark-making is, for me, a meditative state. I love manipulating materials—both conventional and unorthodox. No matter whether I am working in paint or pencil, with thread or with found objects, my goal is to create moments of deep feeling—often inspired by the passing of time and my own childhood memories—through an economy of shapes and […]

SATURDAY only My paintings and multi-media collage are born of curiosity about the world traveled, coupled with the world I can create.

As an artist, I’ve always found myself split between two disciplines: photography and mixed media. My photographic images reflect what I see in the world around me. They are my eye looking outward.

The power of the natural environment is a continuing source of inspiration.I create layered landscape images with multiple realities that progress from the real into abstraction and a fusion of the two.

My world is of earth and spirit. Nature is at once a deep source of inspiration, and a comforting healer. More than anything, the quality of light which radiates from and about the subject is what I am moved to capture. I try to express the essence – the spirit of a place, a person, […]
I paint in an unheated studio which at night takes on the atmosphere of a space capsule. I am alone and would like to have something outside myself draw the marks that open a portal. The important part is letting the mind submit and the body direct the marks being made inside each layer of […]
