Artist Statement and Background

Artist.jpg


I am currently working in oils and pastels.  Both media both yield tactile, lush surfaces that invite the viewer to look deeper into the image.  I focus on landscapes.  My work is often peopled by evidence of modern technology, examining our efforts to reconcile the man-made world and nature.

I currently live in Santa Fe, and am a re-patriated New Mexico native.  I have studied with Mike Mahon, of Santa Fe, and Mary Watkins, Watkins Fine Art, Austin, Texas.  I have shown at Christ Lutheran Church, Santa Fe, and in group shows in Austin.
