I am a retired public art teacher, living my dream of an art studio and the time to work on any idea that comes my way.

 

Exploring the complex and sometimes fragile balance of modern societal growth, I find the changing visual patterns of progress, whether good or bad, continues to inform my imagery.

Memories, folklore, science and media mixed with the new emerging patterns are explored through paint, printmaking and assemblages. Marks are layered to obliterate or reveal new combinations of shifting patterns. 

Whether in a rural setting or right here in Virginia, my response to change comes with some regret, but, the new ‘footprint’ is inevitable and I accept the change.
