  I am interested in geometric abstraction that reflects our vulnerability and uncertainty in the world. I've always been interested in the line, how it contains, defines and suggests. Color is very important in my work. It allows the somewhat familiar forms to become personal and subtly eccentric.

My longtime interest in early 20th century abstraction and the notion of the "cosmic" merges with a California/pop sensibility. What develops is a way for abstract painting to still be engaging.
