A painter, printmaker and sculptor creating mixed media paintings with found or made objects added into the work. I often focus on simplified, repeated shapes with hidden questions and answers to the universe, making each piece unique to my style and meaningful to me. In this way, the process often feels larger than me and communal with everything.
You
may
notice
quite
a
few
pieces
with
a
little
black
and
white
dog
or
ginkgo
leaves.
That's
because
my
Pekingese,
Moosh,
is
my
muse
since
I
got
her
in
2011..
and
she
has
a
ginkgo
leaf
shape
on
her
head.
Ocasionally,
I
work
as
an
art
instructor,
as
time
and
energy
allow.
I
have
taught
or
assisted
in
teaching
classes
in
printmaking,
mixed
media
painting
and
metal-smithing.
Photos
and
inventory
of
my
pieces
can
be
viewed
from
this
website
by
clicking
the
"art"
tab
on
the
left.
I
am
not
the
most
productive
artist
in
the
world,
but
tend
to
create
a
half
dozen
pieces
in
spurts,
when
the
notion
hits
me.
Currently,
I
am
creating
lamps
and
lighting
made
with
a
marriage
of
antique
parts,
that
I
call
"Frankenlamps".
You
can
see
some
of
my
progress
on
my
separate
website
for
those
works
at
frankenlamps.com.
