I am an expressionistic abstract artist. I work intuitively with one mark leading to the next, experimenting and playing with various materials, tools, techniques and the elements of line, color, shape, space and texture paying careful attention to creating bold and dynamic compositions. Occasionally, I find myself working realistically as well. This work might be classified as being more of a blended style of impressionism and realism capturing the essence of the subject. In whatever style I find myself working in, good composition and design are very important to me. Color, movement and texture are dominant elements that can be found in my work. Creating is an expression, a language, a way of speaking to you.... uniquely and originally. I hope that you find a work that speaks personally to you!!

AQUEOUS CYCLE STUDIES is a series of paintings created for the Sky Gallery at the Springfield-Branson Airport. This collection of six paintings revealed themselves to me in values of analogous blues, blue-greens, greens, and other rich neutral earthy tones such as burnt and raw umber. These colors of water and earth encompass the natural landscape inherently infused in the beauty of the Ozarks. Nature transformed and abstracted as I sense and experience it through the human condition is inherently at the core of my subject. Within this particular series,water is a cardinal source of life, creativity, and tranquility. The action of applying flowing aqueous medium became spontaneous, intuitive and transcendental. Working with hot beeswax, damar resin, oil pigment, and other mixed media allows me immediate access to the natural or organic state of creating. The encaustic medium transforms from a liquid to a solid within seconds. My ultimate hope is to engage the viewer’s senses, if even for a split second, with the splendid colors and textures that compose life.

EMPTY WALLS SERIES - (Empty Shelves, Hallway, Bunk Beds, Picture Window, and 17th and Oronogo): The paintings included in the Empty Walls series depict interiors from my childhood home. The house has been purchased compulsorily and is soon to be razed to allow for the extension of a street. My parents moved out months ago and the utilities have since been disconnected. To visit this house, where I lived for the first 22 years of my life, is to experience a strange mixture of remembrance of my personal history and of observation of an alien place – a shell of my former home. The emotional response that I want to elicit is not easy to define; it is something like a combination of solitude and isolation with the connotations of both. It is a feeling of being alone that contains senses of clear-headedness and comfort, as well as loneliness and irrelevance. I want to tap into this part of each individual viewer’s consciousness, facilitating a moment of introspective reflection.
