When I moved to Florida we converted a small enclosed sunroom into my studio space. At first it was fine because I did not have a lot of my collection of art materials. But going back and forth I emptied the studio up north and have now filled up this one. So now it means I must seriously think about what I want to keep for future work and what have I kept and now know I will never have the time to learn and use. i.e. stencil cutter I don't really think I will be making my own stencils. Oh, and that collection of paper for collaging. I really love paint and if I add collage it would be a small thing and yet I have boxes of saved paper. Wish me luck it's really hard to let go.

My work is a very serendipitous process which continues to evolve.  I use abstraction in various degrees.  Currently, I am exploring the process of abstract intuitive painting.  Some of my paintings are easily read as landscapes while others explore Color, Shape, Line, and Texture.  I use acrylic paint and often include other media: pencils, crayons, paper collages, gels, and mediums.
Paintings begin with me standing in front of a blank canvas, picking up a brush filled with whatever color has excited me. My soul is free to explore.
