Artist Statement

There is a joy to drawing, painting and doing photography which has drawn me in and kept me engaged for over 70 years. Nature typically is my focus although other subjects can be very interesting. Exploring various media continually opens doors for me technically while trying to express deep inner feelings challenges me aesthetically. The work never stops and new ideas are always just a breathe away.
