My main objective in creating art is to try and move the senses by giving an intensification of reality.  I am particularly interested in engaging the viewer as a participant interpreting and interacting with my paintings.  I generally strive through the use of color, texture, and imagery to achieve this goal.  The materials, subject matter, or techniques are of secondary importance to me.

My observations of nature, nesting, and nurturing infinitely interest me and are recurrent themes in my artworks.  The transitions, transformations, and expectations inherent  in these areas provide challenges without end.

My  current works are mostly in oil or acrylics on canvas  and vary from representational to abstract in nature.  Mixed medias on paper and print work such as collagraphs, monoprints, etchings, etc. are  also a large part of my repertoire.
