My work is primarily autobiographical. It comes from deep within my heart and my own life experiences. I deeply relate to other artists like Jane Austin, or Mary Cassatt who use their personal story to express their hopes, joys, and disappointments. Whether my work is representational or not depends upon my mood and how open I want to be about myself. I actually hope the viewer will be touched at some visceral level that will bring up emotions and memories. My non-representational pieces sometimes have to do with particular crossroads in my life that I best explore visually. Visual expression is my main language. As an artist, I am deeply influenced by a west coast lineage. Having revered Peter Alexander, Ed Moses and Richard Diebenkorn, I believe I work in that context. Today my paintings are a deep reflection of my west coast experience. Having been born here and lived here nearly all my life my work reflects the wide vistas, horizons, and expanses of California. The paintings are also my emotional response to the landscapes and my personal experiences in these landscapes. They are a visual synthesis of experience, emotion, and place.

Night Fog and Sand Acrylic, India Ink
As an artist, I am deeply influenced by a west coast lineage. Having revered Peter Alexander, Ed Moses and Richard Diebenkorn, I believe I work in that context. Today my paintings are a deep reflection of my west coast experience. Having been born here and lived here nearly all my life my work reflects the wide vistas, horizons, and expanses of California. The paintings are also my emotional response to the landscapes and my personal experiences in these landscapes. They are a visual synthesis of experience, emotion, and place. I am currently using mixed media: acrylic, gels, resin, molding paste, matte medium, gloss medium, to build a flat canvas. I have left off color as it is a distraction of my goals. I am essentially a colorist who loves a minimal use of color; thus, black. I have been exploring night, fog, horizon, and the shimmering luminosity of it all. I have been lucky to see the twinkling of stars, the phosphorescence and the grunion along with a full moon at low tide and high tide with surging waves and almost no waves. This series of paintings is an expression of these moments and memories.
