I have been an artist for over 40 years and have two principal mediums: painting and sculpture. My acrylic on canvas paintings are sometimes a minimalist abstract expression, a dynamic, organic dance on canvas, or anchored by a horizon line and hinting at the essence of landscapes, but leaving much to the imagination and interpretation of the viewer. I like to dance with the paint to create unpredictable, dynamic patterns. I love the freedom and energy involved with making a big mess, so I work outside. Consequently, my back yard looks like a Technicolor explosion from the Wizard of Oz. I draw inspiration from nature, and only this process of giving up control of the outcome allows me to create pieces with the complexity, passion and seeming randomness of the natural world. My alabaster sculptures are all sensual, fluid modern abstract forms. I have shown at Open Studios, Smith Klein Gallery and Loveland's Sculpture in the Park.
