I moved from Cincinnati to Southern Oregon, in 1980. My studies include: Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, 1976 BFA, Mitch Kaufman-Katz, 1978-79, and Rogue Community College 1993-96. My work has appeared in 'Art Calendar', in various gallery publications, has been exhibited nationally.
My figures are integrated in the world around them. I continually challenge myself to capture them accurately and in a way not typically perceived. While attempting to describe these figures unexpectedly, vigorously, and wonderfully translucent, the image is developed through many layers and transitions. The figural and compositional elements wrap around the edge of the support completing the image on the sides. Using this technique, translucency and gold leaf I try to express immersion and the value of being. | |
