After graduating from Moore College of Art and Design in Philadelphia I mainly worked in weaving and photography, showing and selling my work. I had a photography studio with my partner, Bob Emmott and taught art in local colleges and universitiy, took courses in book arts and received my masters in Illustration from Syracuse University. But drawing and sketching nature has always been my happy time, my happy place and several years ago I turned to art full time.
A variety of disciplines keeps me fresh and each feeds the other. I love exploring ideas in different ways - how to best express my ideas and concepts. My work often explores the mystery of a moment in time—what has happened, what is happening and what is about to happen. What events have led up to that moment?
Recently I have been concerned with nature and human intervention. Nature has, so far, renewed itself long after people and our civilizations have passed into history. We cannot exist without nature, but it can exist very well without us. I hope my work captures and shares nature's strength, beauty, and haunting timelessness, as well as our precarious relationship with it.
