My current work meshes the ancient technique of encaustic with varied objects and figures to create images that I find striking, both emotionally and intellectually. 

I incorporate drawing, photography and printmaking into my work without extensive preplanning or consideration for the process.  While I try to work with the highest quality materials, little thought of the finished work is given prior to beginning a project.  I have learned to expect changing environments in my life and find that this perspective translates well when paying tribute to process and creation.

I expect my work to continually progress on its own merits as I evolve personally and professionally.   As an artist, my manipulation of images and medium should in no way be construed as a means to influence responses or reactions in the viewer.  Whether or not my creations communicate my bond with my art is not paramount, yet I do find satisfaction in knowing that others find a personal connection to my work.

My Family

Here are photos of my family.  They make it possible for me to be me.
