Art is how I discover deeper places within myself and as a result am able to connect with others. It renews my sense of curiosity, playfulness and inner joy that is available no matter what happens.

Like life, my art is full of mistakes, re-dos and happy accidents that reinforce the continual, boundless surprise of creativity. I love playing with color as it interacts with abstract shapes and lines.

I like to explore the juxtaposition of orderly primary shapes (square, triangle, circle) with splashes of fluid color and line. There is an interaction between "abstract" color/shapes and the forms that the mind defines. Eventually boundaries disappear between abstract and conceptual and what emerges are light, space and form in their spontaneous yet orderly way.

My collages incorporate acrylics, graphite, watercolor, fabric, photos, hand-made paper, found objects and other odds and ends.
