| My canvases focus on color, shapes, textures and mood--- evolving as semi-abstracted
figures, still lifes or non-representational art. I am in a continual dialogue with each piece, often setting aside one canvas for months and rewriting it when I return. My intention as an artist is to create and affirm aesthetically pleasing and meaningful work. Artists who have influenced me are Matisse, Morandi, Rothko, de Kooning and Cynthia Packard.
