I have a strong creative force. It is not so much a conscious effort, but more of an instinct or impulse to process material from both an outside and interior landscape, tangible and intangible. I express this in visual art forms on paper and canvas using watercolor, acrylics, oils, pencil, ink and other materials.

If we encounter the world every day in a truly present way, we can initiate, respond to, bear witness to, or engage with all that life has to offer.

The creativity that I have nurtured in my work allows me the freedom to explore a concept, a theme, an emotion or even a specific historical event over and over again. Each time the painting will be different, never right or wrong, just different. I am not a technical painter, as soon as I become overly conscious of technique, I lose the life of the piece and it becomes contrived.

The following major Series continue to evolve: Abstracts, Figurative, Florals, Instincts, and Mother and Child.
