Artist Statement
My paintings are prompted
by the mystical aspects of personal experiences and observations
that began in childhood dealing with the likes of nature,
early cultures, war-games, spinning tops and shooting marbles.
I see the making of my art pieces
as a felicitous investigation into parts of my life and
analogous to an archaeological dig.
My audience will view muted earth tones contrasted with
bold color, stimulating textures and possibly 3-D components
in images having multiple layers of meaning.
I definitely have a passion for
process, composition and the painterly surface.

Creek series.
