Art is a reflection of life in all of us.  It is the wooden spoon that stirs the emotion.  It calms the soul or curdles your blood.  A piece of art can be a gentle friend, a stern companion, or a way to escape or revere normal.  My paintings are a glimpse into the core of human perception with color and images that provoke thoughts and memories of the past and hopes that linger just out of reach in the future.  

My work is often influenced by music and poetry.  There is an intimacy that I experience with my palette knife, hand, or brush.  Adding layer upon layer of color, the depth of the paint reveals the life of the subject.  As the image emerges there is that wonderful moment of recognition...Ahh there you are!

ARTIST BIO

My early career was devoted to the field of contract design.  The perfect combination of art and business.  I loved space planning for restaurants, hospitals, banks, and offices.  Then the fun part of adding texture and color to the interiors began.  In hindsight my largest canvases!  But then I studied with two well known artists in the Northwest for six years and once I put paintbrush in my hand there was no turning back!
