I hope to raise questions and stimulate dialogue about the quality of our

lives and the power of our choices. The work is always humanistic, and always

focused on the search for both wisdom and compassion.

The mental, physical, spiritual, philosophical, aesthetic, and technical

processes used are demanding at all levels.

Applying a wide range of traditional and new media, I create richly-toned,

evocative, sometimes surreal photo based imagery. I present them as either two-

dimensional or as sculptural mixed-pigment, layered pieces. I complete them with

translucent image overlays of mesh, sheer fabric, resins, waxes, or varnishes. Although

I do incorporate my original photographs and employ printing processes, each piece

is unique due to the addition of drawn or painted details or tonal and textural nuance.

The overlays create the depth, dimensional illusions, and tactile surfaces that

appeal to and intrigue the senses. It is my pleasure to live and work in the physical

and the technical world as well as the worlds of mind and spirit.
