My work has always been inspired by architecture and technology in the modern world. It is basically non-objective
and colorist in nature.
Commencing in 1967 my vision in terms of my work began to evolve with direction. My work was selling and being
collected. I was exhibiting three or four times a year.
Through the years I have experimented with form and color. My early work reflected this in a strongly assertive
manner. The goal was to move closer and closer to pure form or pure statement that was sufficient unto itself and was
open to little or no interpretation.
My more recent work has the same two objectives of color and form, allowing the spaces around the color to
state form or shape, however, the direction has been toward the concept of expressiveness and the romantic notion of interpretation.
My work now allows the viewer more latitude to define and to be a part of the work. It has evolved from a more
classical point of view to a more romantic vision. Having taught art history, I am conscious of the changes in my work.
My creative life is one of the important sides of my life. My involvement in process, the actual making of a painting,
is ongoing and very exciting. I enjoy the aspect of problem-solving that occurs in terms of balance of form and color.
Painting is a meditative experience. I live with my paintings around me. And the painting I am currently
working on is in my primary living space. This gives me an opportunity to constantly reflect on it.
