I paint and construct pictures which
strive to connect the past with the present.
I respect the traditions of painting as well as the need
for renewal and experimentation. My paintings are imagined places
created in a variety of materials and mediums such as oil, beeswax,
tempera, or acrylic paint. I use
rigid supports of wood or fired clay.
The surfaces are varied, expressive of a
time worn reality and clearly handmade, a quality less evident in this
digital format . The computer, as a
tool for creativity and communication, offers exciting new
opportunities, but it cannot replace the richness of tactile experience.
