Between Earth And Sky
Recently I have felt the pull back to an inclusion of elements of the physical landscape and begun a series of works exploring the mysteries of what lies between Earth (Nature) and Sky (Soul), and learning to live in that atmospheric, ambiguous space, fully stepping into it.

Connection Series
Recently I have put down my brushes in favor of more unconventional painting tools such as scrapers, spreaders and knives. The textural effects add another dimension to the work.

Focus On Line:
Works On Paper
Working with line interests me as does incorporating a variety of drawing tools. Lines have infinite variety and purpose and can convey a sense of energy, movement and emotion. They can provide the underlying structure to a painting.
