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. I found that layering images had amazing possibilities not only physically in my layered canvases, but also layering in photographic compositions in the darkroom or with the aid of PhotoShop.  I love to find visual texture and enjoy the raking of light over the edges of the surface.  Often I find an interesting object and realize how well it would go with another that I took years ago and how well it would express a particular idea.  I build upon that thought.

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 other realities, new environments to stimulate the imagination of the viewer, bringing the artist and viewer together in shared communication.
