Although I paint realistically, the goal of my painting is never realism for its own sake. The subject, whether a landscape, a bird, or a pretty girl, is a vehicle to help me express my love for light, color, form, and the medium itself.

Although I am versed in many techniques and art processes through my experience as a high school art teacher, I have recently begun to explore colored pencils. I enjoy the challenge of depicting line, form, and value not only through the technique of drawing, my favorite form of expression but with the added challenge of […]

Drawing is a continuation of the philosophical inquiry that has shaped my life for more than 20 years. I have a B.A. in Philosophy and an M.A. in English, but I have found that the act of drawing has expanded my ability to: investigate the nature of reality, attempt to make sense of that reality, […]

I am fascinated by our world from macro and micro perspectives. My photography and award-winning haiga (haiku/photography) are reproduced on metal, glass, acrylic, wood, stone, and canvas in various sizes. As a Reiki Master, I also create meditation pieces (3×5 to 8×10) with themes to aid in relaxation and inspiration.

I enjoy the challenge of trying to control the medium. of watercolor. I love the luminosity that transparent paint can produce. To achieve that glowing effect, numerous layers of paint are applied called “glazing.” My painting are inspired by photos that I have taken. Whether from nature, doors, and windows on old buildings, intriguing faces, […]
