The My work is personal, poetic and lyrical. Emphasis is given to form, texture and color. Each field, the figure and the ground, is meticulously arranged for maximum effect. The result is similar, not identical, to the work of the great abstract Symbolist painters of the early twentieth century. It is my goal to elicit a familiar and pronounced mode in each of my viewers.

Art is a moving target. Precise characterization is impossible. General assumptions are a bit easier. Themes do reoccur. I am a structural expressionist. At first, the two concepts seem ill suited. (Is it possible to be one and the other?) This awkward synthesis creates a dynamic tension in my work. By alternating structure (expression) in the figure and expression (structure) in ground, the forces at play can be reconciled.
