Statement

When I was 4 or 5 years old, while the other kids were drawing stick figures, I was painting abstracts.  When my mother finally asked me what it was I was painting.  I said I was painting “colored clouds”. By the time I was in college, I knew I was actually working like Rothko, Frankenthaler and Jenkins.  A few years later, when I had one of my first shows of abstract watercolors, my mom came to me at the opening and whispered, “You are still doing colored clouds”.

These days, I still approach my work as a painter does.  I work with color and texture – although paint did not provide enough texture for me, so I switched to fiber & wire.

My subjects are usually commentaries on human nature.   I am interested in the interconnected global village we live in. 

I work my palette of fibers and wire into a color field painting that tells a little story.
