Oils, pastels, mixed media, and sculpture.

The focus of all my work is "Form". The objective paintings are primarily concerned with natural forms and the way they merge and emerge in space. The more abstract mixed media work done thus far deals with the way forms interact and appear to dissolve into and replace one another. The tapestry like effect that results from disintegrating layers,laid side by side, has consistently drawn my attention. All of the work is inspired by nature. This site is in progress; earlier examples of objective and abstract paintings are being added.

papaya! is an oil painting on prepared board. Large papayas like this one remind me of the years I spent in Mexico. They are usually bruised and beat-up looking on the outside. Their skins are thin and delicate- providing little protection for the massive ripe fruit within.

"Precious"
18" x 24"
$sold
Pastel on bark paper. I have been fascinated with bulbous ballet squashes for a number of years. This was such a beautiful one. This piece was created at dusk, as much of my recent work has been. The name came from popular warnings in academic art circles against being "precious". I feel that all art is an endeavor to capture what is precious, or valuable, to the artist, whether it is a fleeting view of nature, a clear idea, or an intuitive hunch.

Oil on canvas. Revolution is not meant to be seen from only one angle, but to be turned periodically. The "revolution" its name refers to, however, is that of radical change, or states of being.
