Artist's
Statement: A fascination with nature and trees has pervaded most
of my 30-year career in art. I attended ceramics courses at
college; later studied Chinese brush painting, from which I
learned the subtleties of brushwork and the Chinese philosophy
that influences my work. I currently exhibit my work at
galleries throughout the United States, and at fine art shows
like the Sausalito Art Festival and the Scottsdale Celebration
of Fine Arts. The natural world and respect for nature is the
primary focus of my life and art. I could not exist without the
solitude of the forest or the interaction with the wildlife at
my home in the forest. I try to capture the drama and movement
of the windswept trees of my costal surroundings. I especially
love the cypress trees, they express the enduring - yet fragile-
existence of nature.
