Artist's View
Art has given me my life. To love what you do and feel that it matters. How could anything be more fun.

While I consider myself as largely self taught, I worked in the studio of the well known Northwest artist Andrew Hofmeister for over ten years. In addition, I have participated in a number of workshops with nationally known artists during my career.
My style is rooted in the classic tradition of abstract art. In my work one can find rhythms, patterns, shapes, images, gestures and moods, hopefully to be felt in one moment as a meaningful experience. I use a variety of techniques, materials and applications which allow me to explore value, composition and color. I'm not afraid to let the process of art show, including allowing accidental forms and textures to become an integral part of the painting.
