I returned to painting about twelve years ago in order to balance a professional life focused  on the written and spoken word.  The problem for me is that while words are powerful, still they have their limits.  As Edward Hopper put it, “If you could say it in words, there’d be no reason to paint.”  So paint I have in order to express those things that are otherwise inexpressible.
        
        I began with watercolor, studying with Carmen Lund.  I have since gleefully branched out into collage and mixed media as well as acrylics.  My work varies from abstract to fairly representational as need be. Travel informs my art but so do dreams and shards of everyday life. The common thread is the deep sense of mystery that pervades all life and which  cannot be said in words.
