Simple forms are consistent in all my artwork and I enjoy working in series offering relationships, discovery and contrasts.  I create visual situations from everyday experiences and observations.  Although I begin with a clear idea of what I am trying to achieve the paintings actually emerge from what I already know and what I learn along the way.  Each new series directs the path I take and the journey is welcomed.

My paintings are built of many thin layers of oil bar starting with a limited palette of bold colors on large canvases or wood panels.  Subsequent layers allow the under paint to peek through and transparent glazes give the final surface a subtle tint.

With each work, I invite the viewer to first look at the simplicity of the image and then beyond, opening the door to the imagination.
