Painting, printmaking (etching), and small books
My paintings and etchings are a response to what I see and think. Often they are narrative and realistic, and just as often I make work that is more directed by the process.
Directions to Studio #6 at 36581 Sculpture Point Drive, The Sea Ranch.
At mile marker 52.5 on Hwy 1, turn onto Navigators Reach. Then turn north onto Sculpture Point Drive until you arrive at 36581. If you have gone to the cul de sac you have gone too far. This is a shared driveway and I am on the left side.

Over the years I’ve been an artist the way I make art has changed from the documentation of my surroundings to being more focussed on process and how can I create what I want to say. Because I am a painter, and now a printmaker as well, I have many options when I begin a new piece. It is rewarding to have developed my skills well enough to move between medias in order to achieve different results. My latest focus is how to express a feeling. Usually I draw what I am thinking about, which is often influenced by interactions between family and friends. Then I think what to do with that information It often takes a long time to put it together, and during the development stage I make art that keeps me busy and inadvertently may lead me to where I am going.
