- Kula, Hawaii
- Since moving to Hawaii my work has focused on native flora and fauna. I enjoy the natural world and have always loved the magic and majesty of our Big Blue Planet.

2018 Art. I'm back!
I took a time-out from making art during 2016 and 2017, as we began and finally finished moving to Maui. Now we're here in lovely Kula, on the slopes of the 10,000' mountain, a long-dormant volcano known as Haleakala. Life is good here and I hope my art begins to reflect the natural beauty and marvels of the Hawaiian islands.
These are my first prints made here in Maui, using a new (to me) but ancient Japanese technique of watercolor woodcut, known as Moku Hanga. The 2nd print was recently accepted to an exhibit (Caring for the Realm of the Gods) at The Hui, a Maui art facility.

Coral Prints - at Mecox Dallas
Love the branching structure of coral. It's like underwater trees without the leaves. In beautiful colors. These prints are done in lithograph and liquid tusche in order to enhance the watery image with a watery medium.

Fluidity
In these two paintings, I'm working with the concept of how we interpret color and pattern. Scientists have lately understood the human interprets visual information in two different parts of the brain: line in the ancient, fight or flight mode, and color in an evolutionarily newer area of the brain. I observe that line supersedes color in the interpretation and visual experience of an art work. I'm happily exploring this idea while manipulating my paint to stress its fluid properties.

Litho workshop
Kathryn Polk came to Brookhaven as a visiting artist in December to give a color lithography workshop. This print and its companion are the result of learning more about smart plates and color litho.
Majestic diversity
Flowers are possibly nature's best imagination. They come in all kinds of crazy shapes and colors, yet we still call them simply, flowers.

Light Comes Streaming In
I'm trying to work with fewer forms and more color and stroke. It's less about the image being portrayed and more about the emotional response to the painting. I find this approach much more difficult than painting realistic forms. Hard is good.
