From the beginning my interests were to create unique artworks involving multiple subjects and styles, satisfying my long anticipated dreams. This experimentation continues today, creating new ideas, techniques, styles and diversity.
I have participated in over thirty eight curated solo, group, gallery and guild exhibitions in nine countries, on three continents. My work has appeared in international art books and publications. Donations of work and time have been made to charities and public instruction workshops.

Title: Passion for Jazz
This is the most recent project somewhat inspired by day dreams, music and nature. While the use of textures, metallic and iridescent pigments have been for quite a while, this painting rendered some surprising results in the change of colors and clarity through alternating light conditions and room positions. It will be interesting to see what popular position it occupies in the next seven to ten days, when the current project is completed.
