My work is about process. Like life, experience adds richness to the result. The layering and texturing represent the chaotic nature of our lives and reflect the way our attentions are continually divided. But in the end, we are able to navigate the information to form a coherent whole and are fulfilled by the journey as well as the destination.

In my work, I leave artifacts of the trip I take on the way to the final solution.I have always been influenced by architecture. My work reflects a strong sense of design and structure. My father worked for Albert Kahn in the 1960’s and taught me to draw in 2-point perspective when I was 10. I received my BFA from Pratt Institute in New York City and worked in advertising and graphic design for many years before taking the leap to fine art.

It has always been my dream to be a painter when I grow up.

'Swimming to the Moon'

October 01, 2010

With summer finally here (on the first day of October) and warm ocean temps I am reminded of one of my favorite swims. Last year on Labor Day a friend and I swam from Main Beach to Crescent Bay in the early morning. As the sun was rising behind us and starting to light up the landscape, the moon was setting in front of us; hence 'Swimming to the Moon.' The water was warm, flat and crystal clear- we saw Garibaldi; it was a magical swim.

'Swimming to the Moon' is the study for the larger piece titled, 'Moonlight Over Laguna'.
