ABOUT
I have been an artist all my life. I’ve worked in many media, but have found my home, finally, in painting. My work has always been metaphorical, poetic at base, mystically bent, and geometric. The order I find in the geometry allows me to address the unknown, unseen in visual terms.
I am indebted to those early Modernists and to the heroic American minimalists. At the same time I love old films, Russian Theosophists, and the brilliant sci-fi of Dorris Lessing. I am a Tarot reader and a purveyor of visions. But I am also a pragmatist and try to live in the present as much as possible.
