My art, my paintings, is primarily about my individual expression and revealing new perspectives on the familiar - be it through landscapes, waterscapes, still life and/or portraits. I want my paintings to expose the simplistic beauty in familiar objects and places without confining them in traditional arrangements. With only the subject I present to look at, the viewer is encouraged to experience the sensuous shapes and exquisite colors I've captured. To further entice the viewer to step into my work a little more closely, I love to play with the titles - humorous and thought provoking, my titles add another dimension to the works. As for the stained glass, my studio specializes in the design, fabrication and installation of leaded and stained glass windows for liturgical, residential and private commissions in a collaborative process with artists, clients interior designers and architects for over 45 years. Because of the technique of stained glass, this is a far more exact and structured art than having the freedom to explore in my own painting.
