Clean lines and delicious color are signature to my work. I collect rocks and other found items, using them as base forms for unique, organic vessels. Multiple layers of pigment are hand applied, building rich texture and a tactile finish that begs to be touched! I am drawn to the clean and simple aesthetic for which the mid-century modern Scandi designers became well recognized. Stylized botanicals often appear on my work by process of sgraffito carving and/or free form pencil scribblings.

I create prints on a printing press experimenting with monoprint, collagraph, woodcut, etching, and lithographs. Vivid in color, and rich in story, my work conveys a sense of wonder at our magical world. See new images inspired by Oaxaca, Mexico.

My studio is a large garage with collections of masks, heads, toys, and boxes full of recycled wood. Subjects range from toys, folk-style heads, figures, mobiles, and still life. I will also have some of my works on paper.
