My oil/mixed media paintings reflect my involvement with the process of making art.  I am not concerned with rendering what I see, but am challenged to express my response to selected images.

     Specifically, Pennsylvania’s Endless Mountains provide inspiration.  For several years, I have worked to transform this rural landscape into images that satisfy my fascination with the subtle pairing of linear and organic elements.

     My working method is predominately intuitive.  On site I make  sketches.  In the studio these personal notes provide a springboard.  Often the finished piece becomes a composite of visual memories or a sequencing of views.  Sometimes I chose to work within a series format which enables me to develop my initial response.
