Statement:

My current work is abstract but suggestive of landscape, with a focus on beauty of surface, development of  tone, and balance broken and regained.  My paintings are visually rich, deeply layered and meditative, speaking to feelings of expansiveness, distance, desire, loneliness, longing, and communion.
