My development as an artist started through close observation of nature, study of classical rendering, and realistic representation. My main interest was capturing the quality and shape of light. As I grew and matured my interests expanded into shaped paintings, abstract painting and drawing, assemblages, installations and sound sculptures.
I work in a variety of media and processes in both 2 and 3-dimensoinal forms, allowing me to express myself in many different ways. I find that alternating my subjects, media, and processes of working, helps strengthen my abilities in each different area.
I work out of my studio in Lynchburg, VA, creating original bodies of work for exhibitions and installations, and doing commission work for many businesses, individuals, civic organizations, and public institutions.
