Artist Statement
As an artist, I am driven by the act of creation.

Currently, my works are both abstract and representational. Color always takes center stage in my paintings, and the natural world is an important source of inspiration.

I started painting many decades ago, but the demands of business and family kept my brush quiet. Studies with Chester Arnold and others have reignited my passion, and I am able to spend many hours with paint and canvas.

My early formal education and training as a microbiologist helped develop a fine visual discrimination know-how. In later years, my printing and graphic arts company tuned my eyes to design and color relationships. I have found this unique set of skills invaluable in developing my fine art process.

I have exhibited at juried art shows, including O’Hanlon Center for the Arts. I have also received critical recognition including the Judges Award for the Art in the Redwoods exhibit at Gualala Arts Center.
