Artist's Photo -- 2023

Painting "Selves Portait"-- 2004 

As a free-spirited creative with an analytical streak, an artsy nerd, I'm fascinated by the interplay of logic and emotion. Left brain ... and right brain.


I work in acrylic and oil on various substrates using a knife, brushes and fingerpainting to achieve abstract divisionism and emotive color combinations. Feelings align with thought, structure compliments expression.


I focus on technique, the skills that I have developed through classes and many years of experimentation and practice. Yet there is a sense of wonder as the work fully resolves, when it achieves balance and beauty. When it tells stories of new worlds and experiences.


Let me celebrate the heart, elevate the mind, and create pieces that retell themselves with new twists in each subsequent viewing.
