My lifelong love of Nature is the primary impetus for my work as an artist. My paintings and prints are a visual exploration of the world around us and of our human relationships within it.

The paintings are in two categories: Trees presents a series of tree portraits and Stories displays paintings that explore our human connections with nature. The Woodcuts page shows recent examples of my work as a printer. I use the traditional medium of oil on linen canvas for my paintings and bring over twenty years of letterpress printing experience to the production of my woodcut prints. Both techniques require patience, but encourage a slower, more contemplative way of looking than is common in our contemporary world.

During 2010 I am a featured artist of the Cultural Council of Santa Cruz County. My work was exhibited at their office on Chanticleer Ave from February through April and will be exhibited at the Santa Cruz County Government Center on Ocean Street from October 25th to December 23rd.

Each October I participate in the "Open Studios Art Tour" sponsored by the Cultural Council of Santa Cruz County, when 300 local artists open their studios to the public to show their work and methods.
