Artist Statement

Welcome to my world;
So many mediums, so little time…

In my early paintings (1970s) I was often seeking a meditational simplicity.  Through soft sprayed atmospheres I aimed for a light, buoyant experience.

In my more recent graphic series I’ve had a most enjoyable diversion to play with layered patterns and colors on canvas. (And psychedelia inspired by memories of the Summer of Love, ’67 in San Francisco. )

Continuing on with painting right now I am revisiting a double canvas series, cutting into the top layer exposes painted interior layers within.
I was thrilled to have one of my early ones exhibited at the Albright Knox Museum in Buffalo New York.

My mixed media works such as the Globe series and the Action Figure & Toy series are more whimsical in nature and lean towards surreal landscapes.  Dioramas also come into play in some of these which invite you to enter intimate little worlds.

I’m so thankful for the many artists who have inspired me in this life of creativity.
