Oils, pastels, mixed media, and sculpture.

The work is displayed from the most to the least recent. 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. I see the objective and abstract work as related- different ways of observing natural phenomena. This site is in progress; earlier examples of objective and abstract paintings are being added.

Drawing-Still Life-

"Precious"

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". Since I see art as an endeavor to capture what is precious, or valuable, whether it is a fleeting view of nature, a clear idea, or an intuitive hunch, this stipulation is non-sensical to me- funny actually.
