                      Throughout my life I've had a passion for creating things using my hands.

                      Curiosity is often the motivating force for the creation of my work.  Artistic production is a magical process
                      to me.  Nothing satisfies more than bringing to life my ideas through the vehicle of art and in the process
                      encountering the gems of the unexpected.

                      My compositions often combine the graceful, elegance of natural forms, and a variety of decorative patterns
                      and motifs.   I commonly use imagery of plants, animals, mythology, and architecture.  I’m interested in
                      using color as an emotional element and utilizing the rhythm of a pattern. Pattern or parts of a pattern can
                      reference a decorative style reminiscent of an historical time or place, or it can stimulate a more personal
                      memory association of ordinary life, such as the wallpaper design in one’s childhood bedroom, or the fabric
                      design in a favorite dress or shirt.

                      Among my many and varied artistic influences are Medieval illuminated manuscripts; Persian miniatures;
                      Renaissance frescoes and paintings; European and Islamic architecture;  Japanese woodcuts; kimono fabrics; and
                      antique textile and wallpaper designs, especially Eighteenth and early Twentieth century European; and the Ballet Russe
                      costume and stage designs.

                       I am deeply grateful to the many great and extraordinary artists throughout history and the world who
                       continue to inspire even over decades and centuries of time. For me, the best Art illuminates our experience
                       of being human and the wonder of life on Earth.

                      I work primarily on paper, board or canvas in gouache, watercolor, inks, acrylic, and colored pencil.  I also
                      enjoy taking photographs of family, animals, plants and gardens; landscapes, and architecture for both
                      reference and creativity.
