“Why do I paint?”  Art is a form of communication. By sharing ideas, and feelings we educate ourselves and our children.  Instead of teaching in a classroom I hope to encourage thought and discussion about our world through my art.  I paint primarily in oils.  I have a penchant to interpret the world around me, be it people or landscape, in vibrant color.  I hope those who view my paintings share the passion I feel for life, through my use of the medium and its colors.”

“ The architecture of Nature has always intrigued me. From the simple elegance of a leaf to the complexity of a bird's feathers, nothing created by humans can ever quite replicate the perfect design found in nature.

Originally from Texas, I earned my Architectural degree from the University of New Mexico and the controlled elements of architectural drawing strongly influence my work. I work in many different mediums and generally find myself gravitating towards those which encourage assemblages and explore the illusion of multi dimensions. I find collage particularly rewarding as it allows things of beauty to be created out of recycled materials which might have otherwise made their way into landfills"
