My work is constantly evolving. I began doing figurative work in art school, then my work gradually became more abstract, but always with figurative elements.  As my work became more abstract, I started putting objects (mostly paint can lids and cut up paint cans) onto wood surfaces.  I worked in this manner creating assemblages for many years. I worked  intuitively and loved creating pieces with non conventional materials by finding harmony and balance in unrelated objects;  harmony in chaos.

In my most recent body of work I’ve returned to my roots of creating art through drawing. In these new pieces my heavy black line flows and meanders on brightly painted surfaces, sometimes floating on the surface, sometimes interwoven within it. The lines flow like rivers or highways, thoughts, ideas and choices. They are possibilities; some bold and some barely visible, action verses thought.
