My aesthetic interests have always seemed to involve the contrasts of geometry and organic forms. Views from space, maps, shells, water and wind patterns, grids and modular designs using petals and leaves, bilateral designs of nature, feathers and crystals: these have been my subjects. Maps combine geometry and the earth.

I love complexity found in nature or created by man. I often use materials associated with women: threads, buttons, pins, handkerchiefs or beads. I favor older things that carry a sense of the past- ephemeral things like yesterday’s newspapers or snapshots. I use mixed media, photography, typography, paint and found objects to construct pieces in which hopefully have the mesmerizing qualities of variation and repetition in color, line, and form.

In my 9/11 Firemen tribute “The Constellations” and in “The Human Cost” my anti-Iraq war piece, those variations are the faces of  the Lost.

I like subtle changes and variations. I am increasingly using my

photography in "cinematic" collages of nature and fiqures.

Ultimately making my artwork is a kind of meditation for me and I hope becomes a meditation of sorts for those who view it.
