Artist's Statement

SCHEDULING UPDATE:  Please note, my studio will only be open on Sunday, May 1 in 2022.  Apologies for any inconvenience.

I enjoy working both abstractly and from observation, often in series. During the pandemic restrictions of 2020 and 2021 I found a renewed appreciation for being outside, for both recreation and gardening.  I was inspired by the vibrant and energizing colors of local gardens and landscapes and started a new print series based on various plants that caught my eye ("Summer Gardens.")  Other themes to which I also return include: work spaces and tools; figure studies; empty swimming pools; landscape real and imaginary; and abstracted thoughts about the body under medical duress.
