Statement
My work, like most artists, is continuously evolving based on my life experiences, technical training and compulsion to create. However, my technique and philosophy is commonly identifiable when transferred into shape, space and the dichotomy that exists between that which is simple: yet, equally complex. I rely on this equation as it provides the necessary instruments that allow me to visually explore my environment and experiences in greater detail. The creative results of my expression provide others the opportunity to explore my work from their own perspective. My work can be approached with ease by its vast simplicity: while the complexity developed by composition, line and layering takes the viewer deeper; thus this balanced platform begins the exploration.

DABS OF PAINT AVAILABLE FOR .25 CENTS reads the sign on the wall of the old craft store in Yorktown, Indiana. I was made well aware of the policy: so, I was adamant about always bringing a proper supply of Cobalt Blue for my class of seven students who would be requesting this paint color by the dabs to complete "their world". I was only fifteen years old, but somehow my persistence mixed with clever coping techniques landed me my first role as a teacher. It was at Painted Memories that I began my relationship with my oldest and most reliable friend - creativity. Although we have had our moments, we have managed a steady relationship for twenty years and counting.....
