Welcome to my Web gallery.

    When I resurrected my art career almost a decade ago, I was intrigued with watercolor because of the ease with which it reflected light and movement and to charcoal and pencil for their simplicity and depth of value. But in more recent years, I have focused almost exclusively on mixed media collage; a combination of torn or cut recycled magazines, handmade paper, various kinds of paint and often a few "found" objects tossed in for good measure.
    Because of their inherently spontaneous nature, collages have allowed me to experiment more freely with composition, color and texture and to highlight often overlooked or understated characteristics in our everyday world: the whimsical side of people as seen in my Limbs on the Loose series and the beauty of our natural environment, reflected in my Cliff Dwellers work.
    In addition to this web gallery, current selections of my work are displayed in my studio every month during Glenwood South's First Friday Gallery Walks and in local art exhibits, galleries and shows throughout the year.

ENJOY!
