After many years of working with digital images, I felt the pull to return to my roots.  I am now enjoying painting, the movement, the physical nature of the act of painting and the spring of the canvas.  I am still doing some digital images, and many of them have found their way onto my canvases. It's all art, just a different media. 

 Art has always been part of who I am from an early age it was what made everything in life come together. My artworks have grown from realistic, to abstract figurative, to surrealistic as I have brought my interest in the inner spaces of life to my artwork.  Textures intrigue me, whether visual or physical,  I enjoy the raking of light over the edges of the surface.  I always want to touch them.  Combining lines, shapes, colors and textures that call to the viewer is a goal of mine as an artist.  I enjoy painting around the edge of the painting, allowing the composition to flow into the environment in which it resides, stretching the lines into the space..

The imagery of my work is part of my exploration of the relationships of life and matter. My intention is to connect the pieces and share them with others. My art allows me the freedom to create new realities, new environments to stimulate the imagination of the viewer, bringing the artist and viewer together in shared communication
