It has been said that I make romantic, sensual, decorative paintings and drawings.
Sex and pattern,...yes; but the concern for women’s strengths has also been a theme
for 30 years.

Recently I have allowed the dense symbols and pattern to try, but hopefully not,
take over my athletic, expressive figures.

The potential for losing sight of the figure’s manifest content in pattern and texture
heightens the mystery of what will result after I begin.

I’ve long been interested in the painting as object. By adding the actual texture
of found objects to works, I bring the physical world and the need to grapple
with it within my 2D expression.
