My art is a continual experimentation with  materials -  paint, photographs, wax, earth, clay, fabric, industrial and organic detritus- pushing the materials to find their own resonance.  Illusion is not my goal, but rather an honest revealing of the inherent beauty of the materials themselves.

I traveled the world, mostly Asia, as a child in a large family.  I came of age in the 196o's.  I adore the lyrics of Bob Dylan.  I worked with critically ill people for 25 years in a healing profession and witnessed many moments of courage and grace  during that time.   I have spent  time in academia, in science and art.   I have found my home in the culture of northern California.  I am a hiker.  I live in the country.  I have donkeys.  I fight the occasional wildfire.  I love birds.  I am , maybe, a budding Buddhist.

Somewhere in my art , if you look, you will find these influences.
