Artist Statement:
For years I've established
myself as a colorist, which I
still am, but the newest work,
Listening to Raven, is

professional artist adn

visual storyteller creating a
new mythology.
Fascinated with the interplay

translate nature’s mysteries
and movement into expanded
forms of beauty. Extended
visits to the Florida Keys and
the West Indies, travels to
Indonesia and Australia, and
living in the Hawaiian Islands
influence my artwork. In 1986
I began painting on silk,
using Japanese brushes, French
dyes, and gold resist.
Layer upon layer of color
produces a depth and vibrancy
unique to this medium. Not

my secret. Didn’t realize I
had one. I just do it. ...
