About

I paint serene, color drenched environments. My paintings are on wood, primarily recycled. I often introduce three dimensional elements, rough or broken edges and texture in my work.

My intention is to create art that can be appreciated and enjoyed. I am passionate about Art being inclusive. My work is purposefully uncomplicated, yet very personal. My paintings are simple and aesthetic.

I am inspired by color. The color is saturated with many layers of
acrylic paint.

I am pursuing a continued focus on trees.  The independence, strength and calm. The action, reaching toward the sky, or across the air, while planted solid in the earth. The imperative balance between the limbs and the trunk. Their intimate relationships in nature. The tree as home, shelter, provider, as the Mother and the Father. The simple and complex. The tree, in the foreground and the background.

I am an urban artist. I was born in New York City, and currently live in Portland, Oregon. Portland is a city with a genuine artistic presence and appreciation. I am constantly awed and inspired by the natural beauty in
this State.

I show bimonthly; on First and Last Thursdays. I am on the Board of Directors of Urban Art Network.  I share a Studio with Malachi Milbourn, a talented Furniture Designer.   Against the Grain; the reincarnated wood studio, located in North Portland.   7401 N. Albina St.  97217

I am pleased to paint on commission. I strive to bring inspiration, passion and creativity to my daily life and to my community.
