Multiple paint layers provide depth and mystery enabling the viewer to explore the many facets within the painting. Wood panels provide a smoother surface that makes scraping to reveal underlying layers easier to achieve and control. Use of soft gels and glazes on either surface enables me to reveal the layers and achieve blended colors that provide depth to the artwork.

My artwork reflects my love and fascination with nature, both physical and metaphysical. Exploration of the shapes, composition and color, as it appears in the world around us, and the emotions that are generated excites me. I strive to convey my perspective to the audience by drawing them into a world that envelops them and connects to them at an emotional level. I work toward that goal by continuing to layer the paint and other media until I feel that I achieved a good representation of my visual and unspoken language.
