About me

I think of my art as my part of a call-and-response song.  The illimitable beauty of the earth is the call and my paintings are my response. I have chosen not to draw or depict scenes, things, objects. I aim to grapple with something less defined than anything that can be named. Forms, colors, lines are what suggest an underlying layer to the visible identifiable everyday material world.

 

As a teenager, I encountered works of Wassily Kandinsky in my hometown Fine Arts Center.  This and other influences crystalized my real creative focus, and after a career as a landscape designer, I have returned to painting.
