I don’t remember ever not drawing or painting. As a child the need to make marks on paper was almost a physical need. Later I got involved in writing, music, and theatre as well as making art. In my 20s I decided to go for a career in the sciences, which left me little time to make art any more. Thirty years ago I returned to my first passion, and I haven’t stopped. I am still involved in my “other” career, but in semi-retirement I give myself the opportunity as often as I can to immerse myself in making marks, losing track of time and physical needs in the process.

My work reflects my interest in the universal processes of senses, thought, and feeling in how we process information and give meaning to “things”. Whether in printmaking, work on canvas or paper, I explore the human experience through juxtaposition of line, color and form. Sometimes my work is abstract, sometimes it is figurative. I don’t set out to “paint” anything, but rather let the present state and the process direct me.
