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-Non-representational-Place

Place

"Place" is a mixed media piece that includes all kinds of photographic images, including those of temples, patterns reminiscent, to me, of Islamic architecture and personal snap-shots I had taken on vacation-on a plywood box. I was feeling displaced at the time this piece was created. After it was finished, while trying to figure out the intuitive inclusion of photos of ladders and steps,and the juxtapositioning of grand temple imagery with snap-shots of favorite moments and places, I saw the connection to the biblical story of Jacob, and realized the rightness of place I was in.
