T H O U G H T S   about  the  W O R K 

    As an artist my work is reactive in nature; an on-going dialogue with what I see and find.
    The forms I respond to are common to most people's life experience:  a stone, rounded by tumbling along a stream bed; the jumble of flowering weeds along the roadside, the bright yellow of buttercups complementing the soft purples of clover; the illuminating shapes created by dappled light coming through a forest canopy; a wall of rock the layers of which have been distorted by the pressures of time.
    Conceptually what ties my work together is an on-going fascination with nature and natural processes, and our relationship to these familiar but all too fleeting experiences in our daily lives.
    My goal as an artist is to find the right context and associations for my work that will bring clarity, maintaining enough mystery to leave room for discovery, for both myself and others who experience it.
