Artist Statement: 

I love to explore with paint, drawings, and collage in a mixed media way, usually inspired by the figure and everyday life.  Using collected ephemera, old and new, along with figure drawings, water media, or oil paint, stirred up in a mixed media, until it works for me.  I'm influenced by expressionism and surrealism, landing somewhere between realism and abstraction.  Texture, hand of the artist, color, and mysterey interest me.

I hope the viewer engages their imagination while looking at my paintings.

Currently my paintings are exhibited in the Los Gatos Museums Gallery, andThe CottonWorks

 in Los Gatos Calif.
