My art is the sincere, authentic interpretation of my thoughts and emotional reactions to our natural environment. “The more personal, the more universal,” an adage from the theater world, exemplifies the connection I strive to create between my work and the viewer.

My goal is to evoke a sense of the structure and fragility within nature through the use of textures, geometric shapes, scale and color. 

I use cold wax medium mixed with oil paint and applied with brayers, squeegees and pallet knives. I often scrape, print, dig, compress and add particulates during the painting process. Applying many layers of this mixture in a multitude of ways allows me to achieve complex surfaces of texture and luminous colors that invite attention and exploration.
