Photograph on canvas

I embrace the fact that I see the world through my own distinct lens, a complex interplay of my senses, experiences, and perceptions. I am interested in relationships of color, form, and texture. Most of my works can be referenced from photographs taken on my iPhone. The images come from nature, an experience, happenstance, and on occasion, a fluke or a happy surprise. The technique that suits a particular image leads me to have a variety of ideas and options, whether I retain the image as a photo or inspiration for a drawing, painting, or relief print.

Approaching each piece of work as an experiment, frees me to explore the possibilities and to succeed or fail in the attempt. I continue to develop and create work in several disciplines. I enjoy the process of making art; the trial and error of exploring a particular idea, and allowing the viewer to invent their own interpretation of the work. I find interest in the way artist communicate through their art.
