For years, I have practiced a disciplined form of meditation, which often leads to explorations into different art forms …from dance, to painting, to yoga, to theater and poetry. Each art form contributes to the other. Dance and yoga releases physical obstructions; yogic meditation often leads me to greater poetic insights. Poetry is often the result of words flowing from the subconscious. Painting in various media embodies all of these disciplines.
 
Light, movement, color and form, rather than content, form the basic motivation of my abstract expressionist style. The love of movement derives from my life-long devotion of the art of Dance. I often combine both visual and performing arts in art performances and improvisations based directly on my paintings at exhibitions openings.
 
My retirement to Goodwin House, an Episcopal retirement community that honors the arts, has provided me the opportunity to continue working in all my art forms. Teaching yoga and meditation to other residents helps to develop their creativity as well.
