My artworks are autobiographical narratives. The images are figurative and gestural, and are deceptively simple metaphors of human experience. They are joyous and whimsical, emotional and poignant. They represent an optimistic and naïve spirit embracing the moments that make up my life.

They reflect the awe and wonder I feel experiencing the Natural World. My most recent paintings are inspired by my travels to Costa Rica, Joshua Tree National Park, New Mexico, Malheur National Wildlife Reserve, the Columbia River Basin and the Oregon Coast.

My bas relief paintings are created by carving and painting linoleum mounted on wood substrates. (It is the same kind one would use to create linoleum block prints.) I developed this technique around 2012 and it has been my primary medium since that time.

The incised lines add a sense of sculptural depth to the paintings. It is for this same reason that I choose to frame these carvings in shadow boxes that enhance the "object-ness" of the carvings which accentuate their weight and mass.
