2007 Paintings in Oil and Wax The I Ching Collages and Paintings Pastel and Watercolor Drawings Earlier Paintings Artist Info

My abstract works are inspired by movement and change in landscape, weather, time and human experience, change which can be spiritual or physical. References to landscape, oceans, lakes or rivers have consistently appeared in my work throughout the years. There may also be geometric shapes, Native American symbols, and elements from Chinese wisdom and other sources. I use color, texture, line, shape, and sometimes multiple viewpoints to create what I think of as visual meditations, or expressions of the inner life.
