As a visual person, life as it relates to art is constantly energizing me and much of my artwork is a reflection of my life.  My most current paintings are created from my imagination or memory.  For me this is the most honest approach to bringing to fruition a feeling or idea.  I love the use of line and shape and I use color, sometimes lavishly, experimenting with combinations the evoke mood or create interest on an emotional level.  I never anticipate the outcome of a painting.  It’s similar to composing a piece of music.  Each decision made relates to the whole and is subject to it.  Each idea is built on another.

My passion for music and scuba diving sometimes show up in my artwork as well as my love of animals and travel.  I love the art of the Abstract Expressionists and many otheres such as Matisse, Kandinsky, Gorky, Braque and Klee.
