“Growing up in California I was influenced by a blend of Abstract
Painting, Funk Art, Installation Art, and Ceramics. There was a
grass roots feel to the art of that time. In 1980 I moved to Manhattan,
NY, to broaden my love of painting, both in terms of living in an
active milieu and to enhance my own personal involvement: in
practice and education. My life and work evolved amongst a vast
amount of intellectual and spiritual stimulation.

After working in Paper Collage, Abstract Expression, and Geometric
Abstract Paintings, I decided to focus on geometric paintings, both
on paper and canvas. Color relationships interest me most. Colors
in proximity to one another can render discordant vibrations, giving
off shimmering effects and contemplative moments.

This site comprises 100 images; works from 1987 to the present.
The seven categories (not chronological) represent my pursuit of
personal vision and beauty of expression. Recently, I have become
more contemplative of painting. I want my pictures to resonate with
a focused energy. They have to sparkle and yet at the same time to
feel secure.”
