Art to me is an adventure in which I attempt to unearth the darker realm of consciousness with irony and the absurd.

Book Art, in which I have been deeply involved for many years, is influenced by Medieval illuminations. Much of my art represents a reworking through collage of personal and symbolic images on wood and paper.  My work has included a bestiary, self-portraits, expressionistic landscapes painted in oil and mixed media, as well as three dimensional works using collage and mixed media on wood, and various objects.
