Now, in semi-retirement, I'm returning to my first love...
creative expression in fine arts.

My Medium
I enjoy painting in oils and acrylics, as well as drawing in
colored pencil, charcoal, and pen and ink.
I am having a great time exploring textural techniques in acrylic,
including "pouring" and alcohol resist. I will also be trying my hand with encaustic.
I have included some sculpture as well.

My Inspiration
I find great beauty in the textures of nature. Marbles, stones, sand and water, clouds.
I enjoy the micro even more than the macro. As I experiment with abstracted images,
these textures are always in the back of my mind.
I'm inspired to discover the nature hiding in my "accidental" abstracts.
