My paintings are about beauty that comes with age or flawed patina, Wabi Sabi. Beauty which is imperfect, transient and incomplete. The signs present as asymmetry, roughness, simplicity, economy and austerity. "Who can be so lucky? Who comes to the lake for water and sees the reflection of the Moon?" —Rumi
I have studied with many teaches, both locally and internationally, with a particular fondness for experiences in New England, New York, Ireland and Mexico.
