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-To Noel

To Noel

"To Noel" is a memorial to my friend and mentor Noel Mahaffey. It is a branch, tied onto a highly polished copper box that is covered in copper foil, with copper wire. Not knowing the significance of the copper at the time, but feeling compelled to use just that element in the above forms, I was delighted to later discover the universal reputation of copper as a healing agent. I feel that this piece embodied a prayer for Noel.
