Artist Statement:
My paintings are usually
created in series. I have an
idea, which leads to
experimentation with various
materials. If these
experiments produce forms that
I find interesting and worthy
of further investigation, a
series is underway. This is
the “variations on a theme”

The ideas that form the
foundation for a series

current series, “Postcards
from Monera,” the patterns

microbial universe. This less
formal approach has freed me
to explore the land of Monera

Both these series emerged as a
response to a personal loss.
“Growth Patterns” was a kind
of salve and “Postcards from
Monera” more of a tonic. But
personal experience, in my
opinion, is only a progenitor
of art, not the art itself.

human condition the results
are merely therapeutic –
interesting for the patient,
less so for others.
A series doesn’t come to an
end but rather morphs into ...
