Welcome
I paint, write or draw every day. It is completely necessary, much like brushing my teeth. The work is a document to survival. I record each month and each season as if it were the last I might see. I love paying attention to beloved objects. They seem to possess an inner vibration, yet, the don't preach. The paintings are closed and comfortable, veering toward comedy, not tragedy.
The gardenscape paintings capture an essence or energy that I admire. The still life paintings refer to containment and restraint. each work demands a different medium, acrylic, oil and pastel according to what the moment tells me. I hope the work is about listening. The physical experience of painting is sensual, however it is the mental process that truly pursues me.
