Creating in 2D and 3D, my subject matter includes the figure, horse, landscape, and sculpture. Abstracting shapes from a classical modern background, I use collage and realism conveying my visual vocabulary as idealism within an abstract image.

Watercolor landscapes are frequently abstracts of color inspired from my direct observation of seeing south and central Florida properties.

The figure in oil, watercolor and sculpture, (clay, bronze, and plaster) has a narrative quality. Frequently these 2D and 3D pieces are accompanied by poetry from my imagination, and I consider them a dialogue between the literal and unseen.

I like movement, implied or real, and use a directional stroke technique in dry and wet media. I also like the poetically expressive style I am able to create by using impressionistic paint strokes.
