Rebirth

I create art to convey my sense of beauty to others. I am a painter and a printmaker with my own point of view. Design and color are paramount in my work. Painting I have developed a style of abstract painting that comprises irregular lines on a color field rather than two-dimensional images. Most of the lines are vertical; some are diagonal. Although some paintings resemble fields of grass, all are essentially nonrepresentational. Printmaking Many of my hand-pulled prints are monotypes, including those I print using inked ornamental grasses as stencils. I create nonrepresentational etchings; some of these are similar to the imagery in my paintings. I print representational etchings, lithographs, and photogravures based on digital photos. I adjust the photos to obtain a subtle interplay of light and dark. Many of these prints are arboreal.
