ARTIST STATEMENT

I have been studying and making art for several decades: as a watercolorist, collage maker, sculptor and, most recently, student of abstract drawing. For me, the joy of art is in creating something out of nothing. My most exciting moment is taking a blank sheet of paper and making the first mark. All else flows from that. I enjoy exploring the interplay between the concepts in my mind and the movements of my hand. My work is defined by color. And finally, I do not consider any piece complete until it is seen by you, the viewer.
