my paintings began with slabs of clay, a room full of ceramic glazes, and the same tools that i use today to apply and scrape away paint. later i fell in love with the smell of oil paint turpentine and mixing colors so i turned from clay to wood and canvas. i am mostly self taught through a series of trial and error. i am inspired by green green grass against blue blue sky, anything round, old fabric, yarn, aging shutters, doors and windows, a tulip or allium from underneath, color, texture, sound, random flowers that pop up from scattered birdseed, spring, fall, everything i see when i travel or open my eyes.
