Artist Statement

My work depicts life today with its fast pace, uncertainties, and seeming disorder.  I add sufficient stabilizing structure to provide the balance that is necessary in life.  This balance between structure and uncertainty is achieved through the use of the vibrancy of color, the interest of texture, and the stability of form.  My works are intended to encourage flights of imagination that are based upon a person’s own life experiences.
