My art is intuitive - concerned with the magic of transformation reflecting my interest in the freedom and unpredictability of a childlike curiosity and the thrill of "what if".  I believe "the root of creativity is the questioning, metaphorical, playfulness and the problem finding components of thought".  The challenge is to find the exciting questions and I do not necessarily have to solve them.  The important part for me is the process. 

Various mediums, such as acrylic or oil paints enrich the thickly textured surfaces of my work which often includes found objects, such as memorabilia, wood, metal etc that have been discarded or abandoned.  These objects pay homage to the process of time which stripped of their essence and reveal a fundamental link to the past, present, and future of our lives by their honesty, simplicity and beauty. 

Having been a teacher for many years, I am equally at home with representational work as well as non objective.  I am comfortable with either two dimensional or three dimensional design and find myself returning time and again to the three dimensional works of assemblage and sculpture. 

I am not concerned as to where my art will lead, but only in that it is a highly personal search evolving the creative process.  My work is open to interpretation allowing the viewer to participate imaginatively in the creative process as well as challenge the spectator to be a part of the incomplete cycle - thus the viewer completes the piece
