Mixed media paintings and found object assemblages
| |  |
 | | The chairs I've painted are "people" to me--displaying emotions and attitudes--bravado, serenity, strength. The series started as a tribute to the resilience of my Depression-era family members but quickly extended beyond that small group. |
 | | In the found object assemblages that I create I use common items to symbolize piecing together a workable life from whatever is at hand. I often use small glass bottles, household tools, and wood since I find these materials both mysterious and familiar at the same time. |

| I am passionate about making art that symbolizes the resilience and ingenuity of ordinary people facing the challenges that occur over the course of a lifetime by portraying the objects and scenes that surround them.
In my paintings and assemblages, I layer paint, texture, and found objects to represent the personal history and memories that individuals carry with them. The rich colors I use signify the vibrancy within people as they go about the business of living.
My art is a tribute to all those who transform the everyday into lives of meaning and humor.

| Getting ready for the road
We're getting ready to start our own "big year" of traveling. I'll be making new types of art and posting the photos as we go. Stay tuned for more.
