The discovery of beauty is the inspiration for my art. Exploring a wide variety of media, I pursue my own imaginative vision through developing processes which allow me to bypass some of the conscious intent involved in making art. In this way, each painting is a fresh opportunity to discover something new.
As a professional painter of over 35 years’ experience, I have painted in many media in a wide range of sizes, exhibiting in galleries throughout the country. After moving to Oregon from Santa Barbara, CA, the Philomath Studio Tour gives me an opportunity to share my work with the local populace. I have paintings in my studio from several styles developed through the years, ranging in size from 6 inches to 6 feet. There are paintings in oil, alkyd, pigment, acrylic, gouache, ink, spray paint, and oil bar on canvas, paper, Masonite and wood panel. Many include texture, collage, or linoleum block patterns.
Especially available on display will be my Fantasies and Miniatures on resined paper. All Miniatures are abstractions, and each is unique. This year I am enjoying painting small abstracted landscapes which will be available to the public for the first time. Please visit my website for a preview of these Miniatures, and the full range of styles available during the tour.
