Paintings currently in progress or completed the past few years. These works are mixed media -combining materials & processes. The process reveals the final work -& no work is ever truely complete.......

experiments in pushing paint mixed with wax on various surfaces

I like to have several small works in process as a way to jump start ideas for more sustained larger works. These works hang around until someone wants one -they are always subject to change!!!!

photos taken as inspiration for paintings. Things that catch my eye briefly becuase of light, color -usually cropped to create an interesting (to me) composition.
These images could stand on their own as photographs or be translated in to painting or mixed media works.

I like to take photographs of things that catch my eye during my travels -looking for interesting compositions. Things that catch my eye can be cracks in a sidewalk, shadows cast. mirror reflections etc....this collection of photographs represents that aesthetic.

figure drawings -a large part of my artistic practice is to draw from the figure. I coordinate the Saturday morning Life Drawing sessions offered through the Creative Alliance, & also host weeknight sessions in my studio at 1450 E Baltimore st. I have been involved in this practice for over 30 years & the drawings are sketchbook size & larger. They represent & document that 30 + year journey.

photos taken from a flight to Naples FLA from Baltimore. Cloud formations as ideas for color field paintings.
