From the Artist
As an artist and retired physician, I am acutely aware of the interface between our life energy and the environment around us. My art reflects a desire to connect the human touch with the natural world through multiple artistic processes, including landscape paintings, intaglio and relief printmaking, and handmade textiles. The use of natural scenery, along with various mediums and natural materials, some in combination, allows me to express my passion to capture the colors, patterns and textures found in nature and create artworks that speak of the vitality of our existence and beauty of our world.
“If you want a golden rule that will fit everybody, this is it: Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.”
William Morris, The Beauty of Life 1880
