Artist Statement

My intent as an artist is to
SURPRISE people
With multi-textured, multi-layered
Paintings and photographs.

My hope is that viewers will bring
Their own sensibilities and experiences to my artwork
To make discoveries that resonate within them.

Thus, together, we create
A Collaborative Artistic Adventure.

My Introduction

As I travel through my world, images, shapes, colors, textures inspire me to create "layered" photographs and paintings.
Artwork which is multi-dimensional -- tactile and filled with "hidden parts" that draw the viewer in.
These are some of my latest paintings and some photographs from past travels.
I hope you enjoy them and would like very much to hear your comments.
