Artist Statement:  

Organic forms and ocean life, real and imagined, are ever present in my paintings and sculptures.  Flowing movement, sweeping lines, and spontaneous organic forms in my artwork exhibit glimpses of my memories and inspirations from past experiences with the grace of nature.

How would you describe your artwork:  

I am an Abstract Expressionist who works in acrylic,  oil, and ceramics.  I create in my home studio in Montgomery, Texas.  I take walks along our neighborhood woods, around our lake, and I sit still to observe closely. I explore and examine botanical forms, and sometimes even take lake samples to view under the microscope.  I am fascinated by shape, color, line, and form that exist all around us in nature. After in-depth observing of nature, I paint, draw, and sculpt from memory.  I don’t usually attempt to replicate natural forms.  I like to pull from memory and imagination to create new versions of the beautiful and fascinating things I have seen. Sometimes they result in bizarre, unique shapes, and make me think of what might have existed in ancient landscapes.
