I live at the coast. I am surrounded by nature, its beauty and brutality, every day. Nature fascinates me. It is its own wild and free force and often paralells the experience of being human. From formation and birth to the aging process, it awakens me to its moods and mysteries every single day.

I started my artistic path with a fascination for and study of the human figure.  I sculpted for over 25 years, looking to break the solitude of posed figures and expanding to expressions of movement, emotion, the life experience.  In painting, I've discovered opportunities to express my "messy" side, incorporating the creativity of abstraction into the work while staying true to the figure.

Ultimately, I look to nature for my inspiration, its ebbs and flows, its resilience, its timeless aging and rebirth.  Whether I paint figures or nature, it's all part of the same global adventure.
