The use of color and texture to induce a tactile value, and the weaving of the free-floating text as shape has been my works focus for the past three decades.  Concrete and objective subject matter, when this exists, has been obscured in the abstraction of form in order to buttress and augment the presence of my main elements. My work is generated from emotional and visual perception that is ambiguous enough for the personal and subjective lives of viewers to shape an interaction with my work.  I find inspiration in nature and natural forms. Color has always been an import aspect to my work.  As with life, my work is ever changing and ever growing.
