bio: Art is the ultimate expression of the human self. Hands forming something out of nothing, thoughts beginning in the head and heart and sparking life into a creation put on display for the world to see the innermost workings of an artists' soul. These are my thoughts as I create pieces with wood, wax, paint, and paper.
I teach encaustic painting in my Portland studio and show my work nationally.
on the importance of art:

Art is that emotional heart or "spark" of a society. It is what is left of a society's inner pulse after all of us are dead and gone. It makes us pause and really look and soak something up besides the mundane.
