Time and my changing perceptions of it are compelling to me.  This interest and pursuit for understanding exposes a self inquiry and thus brings to my work a collaboration of poetics, words and paint.  This current series called Journeys Around the Sun explores that delicious slowing of time that reveals the wonder of the mundane as well as the extraordinary in the human experience, the extraordinary ordinary.  My personal struggle to allow vulnerability is revealed in the layers of the work.
"The knowledge of impermanence that haunts our days is their very fragrance".  Rilke

I create textured landscapes to reflect the projection of a thought or event into color and line-delineated space.

This body of work is a collaboration of words with a writer. I painted from inspiration from his works and he wrote from inspiration from my paintings. This collaboration resulted in a book: Words and Paint/ Uncommon Dialogue

This body of work concerns the moments and stories in the every day. These observations of what one often dismisses as incidental and not important are the gatherings of the profound and puts one clearly in the present.
