I am an abstract artist and paint intuitively, to express a feeling, a memory and may even begin with no theme beyond the joy that I find in color, movement and texture.  During the last few years I have worked in acrylics on paper, canvas and birch cradle boards.    

More recently, I’ve been drawn to colored inks.  I find that the flow and interplay of the inks produces work that I’m unable to achieve in any other medium.  I believe the use of inks has sharpened my artistic eye and enabled me to see my compositions through a sharper lens.  I’ve also begun to experiment with a variety of substrates, including aluminum and yupo paper.  As a multi-media artist I continue to experiment and draw in other media to complement the inks.   

As a largely self-taught artist, my paintings are stimulated by the work I’ve just completed, the view outside my window, study and admiration of other’s work, and the outcome of asking, “What if I … and then I become deeply involved in following that ‘what if’ thinking.”
