I choose to live and work in Idaho.  I feel fortunate to live and create as I wish without the pressures of ' the art world’; the high cost of city living and have an appreciation of the isolation of Southwest Idaho to make art uninfluenced by trends, hype or endemic imagery

I've been a serious working artist for over 30 years and it never ceases to amaze me that I never tire of the process of creativity, which entraps and enthralls me.

I have a restless intellect and although I am concerned with color, composition, form, line and texture and materials with my most significant intangibles being process, mood and energy, I love the process and materials used to manifest my thoughts into a visible entity. I approach personal, political and conceptual themes with an introspective expression. I respond to my concept, which then determines my media, and the media then determines the style.

I use metaphor more often than not. The finished work may seem quite simple and uncomplicated but it began with very complicated thoughts. I feel the finished work should stand by itself so the viewer is not hit in the face but quietly understands that beyond first glance there is more than meets the eye.
