My quest as visual artist is to communicate the beauty, movement and emotion of   BODY AND SOUL WORKING TOGETHER

- without words, without sound -

simply an illusion of motion and energy in mixed media on paper and canvas.

While the dancers are rendered realistically in full body, the continuously moving female nude dancer is abstracted by the line. There is no line in nature.

 But when you look at my work I hope you hear music,

I hope you feel the joy.endearing and familiar figure to me. His hourly glockenspiel menuet on ceramic bells ringing through town is still with me. It seems like the sound of music inspires me to create on paper.

While my series of dancers, musicians and flowers are basically sheer fun, I also feel a deep committment as artist to make a meaningful contribution to the serious and sometimes troubling side of society.

My goal is to balance the lighthearted aspect of art for its beauty and uplifting spirit with the art of conveying a serious message to aid human causes.
