I am a visual artist that works in oils, pen and ink drawings and Assemblage art. I create art as a conversation with others. We all live different lives, different family dynamics and cultural perspectives which influences all we see. My art is to present you with an image and title that will lead you down a road that combines my intent with your interpretation. We have a silent exchange of ideas. My art is simple, sometimes a reflection in life, a laugh or even a sadness. Something we all feel and have in common.
