My work speaks to the importance of our natural environment.  The use of brilliant color provides the medium of expression and the images on the painting surface symbolize the unseen energy that connects all living things.  This energy is symbolized by the life forms around us which provide the air that we breathe.

The process that I use gives the paintings their unique appearance.  Layering and resist techniques are used.  Paint is applied and removed in areas to reveal new color relationships.  There is a constant push and pull between the shapes and colors that build to create the final painting.

My art is often imbued with the use of gold leaf, a process that I learned from my father, a second-generation sign painter and calligrapher.  I am the third generation to carry on the use of gold leaf in my work.  The infusion of the gold leaf brings my paintings full circle.
