From the artist:

Creating art has profoundly affected my life for as long as I can remember. I started painting realistically until the background of my portraits became more interesting to me than the portraits themselves. This transformation to abstraction was greatly influenced by a two-year journey to Athens, Greece.

I sculpt and paint abstractly because it affords me the freedom to express ideas without being tied by visual representations. I like the idea of visual suggestions, an ambiguous story that makes it necessary for the viewer to bring his or her own experiences, perspectives and relationships to the viewing. My hope is that my sculptures and paintings are interpreted differently by each individual and are developed into unique emotional experiences. I also create art abstractly because I love the process. It’s exciting to experiment with textures, colors and different media.

My sculptures consist of found objects, welded steel and wood. My paintings consist of layers of thick and thin color, washed, splattered, or scraped over a textured surface of canvas, metal, cloth, wood or paper. Much of my inspiration comes from nature, traveling, relationships and from being an art teacher for 33 years where I had the opportunity to teach and collaborate with young artists.

Gallery hours are 1-5 pm, Tuesday through Sunday.
