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.

Mixed Media-Tears of Islam- Side Two

Tears of Islam- Side Two

Tears of Islam was my first two-sided piece.I had not planned it to be so, but could not keep from reaching around to the other side while working. Side Two is clearly about grief. What can be glimpsed through the shredded photographs in Side One, is laid bare here, and in your face. In actuality, it is merely a burlap bag hanging over the straw matting, glimpsed in the layers of Side One, and draped with velvet strips. I did not consciously create a piece about mourning, but know that is what this is.
