STUDIO TODAY

Beyond my formal education, my own, personal painting techniques

have been discovered through experience coupled with: research,

contact with other artists -- and a great deal of thought.
I find that the diverse education and experiences I've had are a

multi-dimensional foundation for my work today.

My painting has been strengthened by my exposure to the work of

great painters, contemporary and past - also the rhythms and passages of

music and dance, humanity and iconography - poetry, literature and theater.

I am grateful for these things as they enrich my life and my art,

consciously and subconsciously moving my hands.

OTHER ARTISTIC VENUES

Although I find the best and purest expression of what I feel intuitively through painting and drawing, I'm receptive to appropriate opportunities to share or teach what I've learned while working and developing as an artist.

I am available for lectures and demonstrations.

All earnings from sale of art go towards art production resources.

Thank you for your time.
