"My artwork explores the rhythms, tensions and harmonies of my sensory perception of the world.   In my work I aspire to invite the viewer to step into my contemporary botanical and landscape images, and experience with me the interplay of color and movement, form and texture in nature.   Born in Tucson, Arizona, and having lived in Santa Fe since the mid-1970s, I am aware of the Southwestern landscape permeating my interpretation of color and shape. The New Mexico seasons, flights of birds, native flora, the Rio Grande and other rivers and arroyos continually reveal their patterns in my paintings. Travel to other regions in the country and to foreign lands expands and intensifies my appreciation and understanding of the many forms and feelings in the world of nature.

My chosen media are acrylic on canvas and monotype with pastel on paper."
