Painting has always been a compelling force in my life. I started out working in watercolor. Because I spent many years working in this medium, I eventually gained control of this improvisational paint - so much so that my work in watercolor was mistaken for other mediums such as oil and acrylic.

For the last several years I have worked in oils. I am very interested in texture and movement. This requires many layers of paint and has the effect of dimension or a kinesthetic quality. People often think my work is textile or mosaic. I think this makes for an exciting viewing experience, a sense of surprise.
