After working for many years as a sculptor with public art commissions and shows in museums and galleries, I have started a new life as a painter. This is challenging and exciting. I am seeing the world with new eyes. I paint my way into imaginary spaces filled with colors and shapes. Though I take photographs for inspiration, I seek to go beyond the literal and enter a mysterious symbolic landscape.

Nature Variations

I am inspired by nature but instead of painting it in a literal way, I look at the shapes and colors as something abstract.
In this way an ordinary plant or water reflection turns into a different kind of experience, another world.
