"Life is short, use color!"

"Life is an onion and one peels it crying." -- French proverb

Escapism.  Defying time.  Serenity and solace.  Reliving and recalling treasured moments.  These are the reasons I paint and produce artwork.  The acts of creativity are surely some of the most pleasant and yet difficult of all experiences.  Color and form are my special friends.  The challenge of perfecting the artwork is monumental and exhilarating.  This effort has grown to be both friend and family, which are the two most important aspects of my life. 

I have always been enthralled with fine art but have been largely self-taught in it. Being an experimenter and, I am told by a teacher, an intuitive learner, I have benefited from studying books, visiting museums and galleries around the world, and by learning various painting techniques from several friends and relatives who are artists. I have studied with Clive Tyler, the pastelist, and have taken oil painting classes with Daniel Edmondson.  My favorite media are glass paintings, soft pastels and oil paints (using the palette or painting knife, in addition to cooking utensils).
