Inspired by the rural desert of my home in Joshua Tree, California, my paintings are abstract expressionistic in style. As in the desert, light plays against dark-shadow and juxtaposition create movement and depth, enhanced by the use of metallic paints and rich copper tones. In a self created style and method, I use air brush, dry brush and air hose to apply metallics, acrylics and solvents. Abstract Expressionism incorporates many different styles emphasizing spontaneous personal expression-nonrepresentational and chiefly improvisational-the goal is subjective expression of the artist's inner experiences. The goal is to make art that while abstract is also expressive or emotional in its effect. A California native, I have been part of the art community for over thirty years. Involved in the early days of the flourishing art scenes of Laguna Beach and Santa Barbara in the 1970's, I have exhibited my work throughout the country.
