Statement


The natural world is profoundly mysterious, beautiful, and terrifying. It is my source material—a delicate balance of life and death which is now under assault by human beings. My response is to create images with layers of information about the natural world, in both beauty & crisis. I want to reveal the beauty—but not without the scars. I have always been concerned with extremes—darkness & light, destruction & survival, seduction & fear— and how these opposites can occupy the same space in a symbiotic unity. It is an illusory space, an atmo- sphere in which to move and experience submerged information. My work combines elemental, mythological and personal symbology from various sources—I am always working to create a new and continually changing language of archetypes. These images from nature are inhabited with individual personality—and they are the elements of primeval power. I am primarily a painter—my work has included oil paintings, encaustic paintings, drawings, watercolors, installation art, monoprints, linocuts, and 3 dimensional pieces—“Still Life Installations”, and recently paper clay Star Bowls.

Bio


I am primarily a painter—my work has included oil paintings, encaustic paintings, drawings, watercolors, installation art, monoprints and and a series of 3-dimensional ‘tableaus’ called “Still Life Installations”. I have lived in Austin, TX., New York City (East Village), and Santa Fe, NM. I've had 3 one-person shows in New York City, one-person shows in Santa Fe, San Francisco, Chicago, Austin, San Antonio, Dallas and Minneapolis. The work has been favorably reviewed in The New York Times, The New Art Examiner, The Dallas Morning News, Art in America and Art Forum. My work is in both private and public collections such as Museum of Fine Arts Houston, American Express NY, Swiss Bank Corp. NY, Morgan Bank & Trust NY, Swiss Volksbank NY and Hyatt Regency Hong Kong.
