After many years in the corporate world of high tech as a software engineer and later in real estate I'm now able to spend time every day on my art. 

      My painting style is intuitive,   I seldom have a theme or subject in mind.  I use experimentation and a playful ‘go with the flow’ attitude in my  work.  I love the interaction and vibration of colors and hope to provide a burst of color and motion.  Each stroke influences the next and then the next until the artwork informs a direction and a pleasant balance is reached.   

           Often bits of found objects, book pages, house plans, sewing patterns and hand-made papers find their way into my many mixed media layers,  My goal is to provide a visual interaction and simple enjoyment. 

     Austin is a great city to showcase your art.  Many venues rotate their artwork monthly with dates and availability changing every year.  I might have art hanging at:  The Old Bakery and Emporium - Congress and 10th or  The Hyde Park Grill,  I'm usually a part of the  Travis Heights Art Trail in the  South Congress area.  This art trail is - usually the first weekend in November.  

A am a permanent artist at :

Mercer St Gallery - 330 Mercer St - Dripping Springs, Tx     

My art studio was the best gift I have ever given myself.  The studio is always a mess - often shared by my grand children for their projects, but the dormer windows and 3 sides of light add to the joy of painting.   

      I often paint with unusual tools including this larger than it   looks in the photo cake spreader.  Additionally, I use a squeegee,   trowel, wire bristle brush, paper towels, and any mark making tool   that makes an interesting mark.  It's just way to much fun!
