My artwork talks quietly about the underlying significance of the domestic sphere on artist production. It argues for the relevance of craft, specifically ceramics and fiber arts, by creating a conversation between the two mediums. Displaying a fascination with the way fiber marks clay, my ceramics exhibit just how subtle those marks can be.

I was a choreographer and modern dancer for most of my life. It is the balance between energy and stillness that I carry into my art. I reflect this discord in a gesture and painterly contemporary style. I use a variety of media to create a raw, yet, luminous painting in oil, layering pastels, glazes, pencil, charcoal, and develop painted collages of varying surfaces. I create paintings directly from a model's pose and the subtle nuances of that gesture. I paint in a realistic approach, and yet, abstraction tends to take over. I have had an extensive career teaching art to students of all levels and ages. My teaching is an integral part of my art making process.

Composing in series, and often series within series, all of my projects from the past couple of decades have dealt with social issues, and more recently have embraced text as both content and image: * states of mind as one-word declarations (SO I WAS, LIKE....) * the interior lives of artists (DESIDERATUM) * odd courting and mating habits in the animal kingdom that sometimes echo our own (RE:PRODUCTION – Portraits) * the dysfunction of todays politics seen through an historical perspective (WHEEL, DEAL, STEAL, THEN SPIN) * death – it’s customs, euphemisms, architecture (THE FINAL FRONTIER) * profiling and identity (The MARK Portraits) * violence in America (TOKENS, PRECIS, HARBINGERS AND HERALDS, AMERICAN PIE, EIKONS)
