in my lifetime series 2026

I believe that the historical events occurring during ones lifetime can become an iconic part of that person's identity/psyche. All the works in this series are part of "who I am", and thanks to great photographers it becomes possible to make collage paintings marking their power .

bird series 2025

I was reminded of Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring" when I was walking along the edge of the forest and listening for the beauty of birds singing, and instead there was silence; in deep sadness I wondered what would life be like if there were no more birds?

food series

In mid-winter I needed to do work that was lighthearted -- something that captured "lightness of being." These collages are on archival paper mounted on birch panel, as are most of the oil painting collages.

reparation series

The Black Lives Matter era has woke me up anew to the importance and challenges of making art as a white ally. Here is a renewed attempt at honoring Native American and African American cultures without hopefully inappropriately appropriating them. As an artist and lover of art, I make a commitment to breaking my pattern of primarily representing the previously dominant white culture that I grew up in -- as a white ally I expand my vision and open my mind. Also it is a gesture of personal reparation for the historical lack of representation that has existed in our art museums and in my work. I apologize if I offend any persons of color -- I realize I will make mistakes in my attempt at reparations (repair).

children

I love to bring children and childhood into my work. Having raised six kids, I am particularly drawn to wonderment around being a child -- probably because I simply missed the experience of my own children due to being consumed with that amount of responsibility, so I rely on remembering myself as a child.
