Statement
My work has been described as “twisted domestic” and “structural still life”.
Informing my drawings and paintings is a strong background in both dance
and structures. Sense of line, flow of weight, use of space, and point of view
draw on these experiences. I delight in the fusion of the arts, each informing
and enriching the other. Favorite subjects are the California Coast,
Southwest, and things I find at home.
