painting, photography, printmaking

The work presented in my solo/dual shows has been abstract painting addressing a variety of ideas and themes. I started out with the more whimsical idea of pixels as objects, Refugee Pixels (2018), and moved onto my dissatisfaction with our political/social milieu in Lost Ground (2019). I continued with abstract pain8ng that reflected my disgust with politics in Bollards (2021), which was conceived because I wanted to do a piece the width of the south wall of the gallery. Unfortunately, that was January 2021 and just a few people came to the galley in the midst of the pandemic.

I transitioned to painting on photographs, using family photos in my Family Coloring Book series for the show See/Saw (2022) and I’ve stuck with that technique for two more shows: Bodies of Water (2022) and Went With The Flow(2024).

I’m always looking for the next idea to ignite my imagination because I base my work on a central idea that determines how all the artwork in that series will look. I’m not sure where I am headed next artistically however It will likely be rendered in abstract painting because I like layering colors and dividing up space (but I don’t rule out different media).

drawing, painting, printmaking, collage

I was a painter and drawer a long time before I ever started printmaking.  While I loved the intuitive process and the act of painting and drawing, it never really made me work hard.  Initially I was interested in printmaking as a way to make multiples of my drawings but what I found was a love for the hard work in planning a print and that the process was really more about ideas; I had to think about the content before I actually did the work.  Going through that process I realized that I always had a lot to say and in strange way the strict planning of printmaking allowed me to find my voice. 

I have a hard time expressing myself verbally or in writing, but I do always start with words.  As I am contemplating what I want to say, I translate the words into symbols that are meaningful to me.  Because that collection of images becomes complex, I have to figure out how to make them work together in a cohesive way.  That means they are pushed to the background or incorporated in the small details of a print.  When you have such complexity combined with the small format, the content is more nuanced and the viewer may need to spend more time with the piece in order to see everything that is there and figure out why it is there. 

My larger works tend to be mixed media using a combination of drawing, printmaking techniques, collage and found objects.

photography, oil and acrylic painting, pencil drawing

My work addresses the relationship of past to present, humans to nature and matter to spirit.

I investigate the intersection of sentience and the inanimate, often through transient garden moments, other times through images of the Virgin Mary, sometimes through replicas of children’s and historical art, and increasingly through dynamic non-objective or abstract invented worlds.

Because I've discovered that the different approaches often address the same concerns and themes, I've recently configured the different pieces into what are essentially triptychs.
