painting thick to thin, and
using prepared abstract
surfaces to draw and paint
figures. Every series has
given me new insight into the
creation of art.

locally collected materials
has become the central idea in
my recent work. Using this
approach, I wish to
communicate the importance of
connecting with our natural
