My paintings and prints express the beauty and mystery of the natural world. Water patterns below and above the surface intrigue me. Color, line, shape . . . reveal a glimpse into a moment. Change is the reality I deal with. In my watercolors I find a fluid transience. Oil paint provides the richness of surface. I use the brush to express my emotions. I play with paint. Intaglio provides the delicacy of line. Value, not color dominates my etchings. Wood block printing allows for bold, simple color surfaces.
