About:
I am a southern (USA) artist working in the Midwest. I left the blistering fury of hot summers in the Deep South for livable summers and cold snowy winters. I live in Bloomington, Indiana and Bloomington suits me very well.

I have been a practicing artist for the last 30 years. My academic history involves a BS in Medical Technology and a MS in Applied Statistics. I was still working full time as a technical consultant when I began to make art.

Over the years I have worked in various mediums. My work usually involves an abstract format. Each medium now has a multi-piece body of work associated with it.

In recent years I have focused on mixed media, printmaking, Shibori fabric surface designs, and now cold wax oil painting.

I have been very lucky to have had the chance to explore the things that really interest me. It is not always easy. Sometimes there are complicated processes and incomplete work. And then in the mist of the fog something spontaneous happens .In fact, sometimes I surprise myself, and isn’t that what’s it all about?

As I continue to work and explore, I realized that exhibiting the work is the last important part of the process. It completes the process for the artist. I am successful if you find an image evocative. I am especially grateful if you let me know!
