Statement

Since retiring from a gratifying career in manufacturing and design, I have had the privilege to explore my personal love of art. It has been a beautiful journey into realistic expressionism and self-discovery. When I joined the Drawing Galaxy, I found new freedom and spontaneity through abstraction. I now perceive marks in a new way—mood, mystery, amusement, the unknown. I wander through my love of color with no particular destination where even the beauty of struggle becomes a dance to me. The excitement and joy that I discover through this process, continues to surprise and energize my work.
