About the art and artist



My fascination with the natural world is nurtured by lots of looking, while outside and in, as I travel through neighborhoods, cities, parks, greenways and waterways.

Organic patterns -- branches, leaves, stems, blooms waves, bubbles, ripples clouds and grasses shaped by wind -- these are the vocabulary and color palette for making my art.
