Artist Statement

My work is an outward expression for my love of color; and the many textures, patterns, and forms seen in nature. With my background in the medical field, I have studied the complexities of the human body, and am particularly interested in this, and in all biology-oriented projects. My compositions contain actual proportions and mathematical sequences as seen in biological subjects such as butterfly wings, flowers, fruits, scientific and medical subjects.

Butterflies are also a metaphor for the spirit, a journey in life, a new beginning, or the imagination.
My work in Photo-Illustration has many applications for exteriors and interiors: durable vinylized prints which can wrap around columns, span large walls, be made into backlit 'Duratrans', transparency light-boxes.

My projects reside in State Parks, Botanical Gardens, government building lobbies, etc. I have worked with city planners, designers, architects, landscape architects, and have done project management and design for building construction....
