My work is my autobiography. Current work is a reflection of triumphs and challenges. The imagery is both beauty and fact.

I have been exploring abstraction for over 40 years in different media depending upon mood or circumstance. Currently, Polaroid photographs portray reality within an abstract construct, which I find fascinating.
Where do you find inspiration?Inspiration is all around. From white peonies in my garden to the parallels between my life and Dante's Inferno. I keep my eyes open to all possibilities. Music can push my boundaries. The scale of Helen Frankenthaler's work grabs me in numerous ways. I stay open to everything.
What would you do with $25,000?I have not given the monetary side of this the most thought. Travel is important to understand new facets of myself. Maybe sometime in the desert investigating chemistry and heat and outcome. Maybe some workshops involving photography. Maybe a large studio to work on large paintings.
