I am drawn to the honesty of the animal subject and the complexity of the human. Expressions, gestures, body language, relationships (human to human, human to animal), the life force of these subjects, beauty in people and animals, these are my sources for inspiration.

My primary media are oils and pastels, so I love to draw as well as paint. Lately, I have been experimenting with oil paint sticks and layering the oil sticks over collage. What I most appreciate about the paint sticks is that they allow me to combine my love of drawing and painting into one work of art.
