Artist Statement...
I combine my scientific background with my love of nature and color. My art work is executed primarily in transparent watercolors or pastel, although I am willing to experiment with most any medium and recently have begun pursuing collage. Subject matter consists mainly of a variety of animals, flowers and insects. The abstract is beginning to interest me also. I am inspired by nature in the world around me. Travel with my camera provides references for studio painting. The beauty and delights of nature compel me to share them with those who may pass by so quickly that they otherwise would miss what nature has laid before us.
