During my life as an artist, there has been a balance of time devoted to working three and two dimensionally. Over the years, these two approaches have evolved into complimentary endeavors that are mutually supportive energetically.

Having first trained in ceramics, I use clay, fired in the raku technique, as my primary medium to express a very personal language that draws upon eclectic influences like quantum physics, the architecture of Antoni Gaudi and the sublime, elemental sculpture of Isamu Noguchi for inspiration.

Contrasting these labor intensive, studio based works, I continue to be seduced by a love for the landscape which I consumate by painting on location, primarily in pastel. In so doing, there is opportunity to refresh by stepping outside the studio and my "self" through connecting directly with nature. I intend for these works to have a fresh, spontaneous quality while still honoring the character of the place and moment of their origin.
