As an artist, I have always found myself split between the two disciplines of photography and mixed media. My photographic images reflect the light and textures of world around me. They have been my eye looking outward. My mixed media work, on the other hand, has been my eye looking inward, a vehicle for expressing my personal philosophy
145 Palisade Street, Studio 415, Dobbs Ferry
Through layers of paint and pastel I consider color, structure, and texture to create contemplative moments observing the delicate relationship between humankind and the natural world. My subjects are engaged in their surroundings through acts such as swimming, climbing, studying, and walking. They may appear obscured, framed, or dwarfed by the elements, reinforcing how they are part of their environment

Register handmade Japanese paper and apply pressure to transfer image. Carve again from same block, destroying details carved previously. Roll ink of darker value. Register same paper on “reduced” block and apply pressure. Repeat

My work combines architectural elements with contrasting interiors. The paintings explore color, texture, and light, and the interplay between inside and outside. The architectural structure has a “conversation” with the more free-flowing, organic or ephemeral elements – the shifting patterns of light inside, or snippets of landscape glimpsed through a window or door

Moose, cottontail, painted dog, deer, stand alone inside the margins- the otherwise empty space of the frame. Each arresting image of the individual connects with that same lonely part of me.
