"Waiting for the All Clear "

I am fascinated by the complexities and contradictions of humans and of all life. I find that even the subjects of my still life works have distinct personalities. I like to bring this interest and curiosity to my oil paintings of artists of the past. My work is inspired by my love of Italy and the never-ending artistic feast I find there. 

Recently I have been experimenting with a series of abstract encaustic paintings, using beeswax medium and pigment. These images were inspired by close-up photographs of problem areas in canvases found in a text on art restoration. The titles reflect my linking of restoration issues with human issues. 

I continue create collages using reproductions of my images as the central theme, playing with the images in different ways and adding layers of found images to create a new whole. 

I intend in all my work to evoke the mystery, humor, and joy of life.
