             My work is inspired by exploratory imagery and inventions 
              of color within 
              relationships, connections, juxtapositions and dynamic arrangements. 
              My 
              arts search for life force, energy, and meaning is to engage 
              color and 
              shape as value and depth. Metaphorical form, complementary and analogous 
              colors, symbols and glyphs suggest a vital undercurrent. 
            The forms in my paintings, prints, and drawings are 
              inspired by growth--the 
              poplar tree, hydrangea blossom, oyster shell, the grid, and implied 
              text. 
              Color, mark, rhythm, repetition, pattern and diversion reveal my 
              visual 
              reach and extension.
