Collage of hand painted papers

2025

This new body of work can be divided into three parts; works on paper, mounted canvas panels and two-sided painting, united by improvisational approaches to color, shape and pattern. Though I am primarily a painter, textiles loom over my background as a professional artist. I was a student at the Cleveland Institute of Art in the 1980's, majoring in painting and textile design. I still navigate through these styles with complete fascination. 

"I routinely observe my city and the people that make up its urban development, translating my impressions of daily life by orchestrating colors and shapes that move and weave across surfaces. This work is the evolving adventure I’ve discovered in pure abstraction.”
