Passage From A Rock And A Hard Place (detail; 1999)

Welcome to my site!

 

             From my “pattern paintings” to the more recent shaped wooden panels and digital photographs, I have drawn inspiration from a diverse range of artists in the field of music, including Tuvan Throat Singers, Miles Davis, and King Sunny Ade.
             On the visual side, Australian Aboriginal art, African textile designs, Islamic geometric patterns, stain-glass windows, and New York City graffiti are among the many forms of human expression that continue to intrigue me.
              Recent explorations in photomicroscopy, and celestial discoveries as revealed through the Hubble Telescope, have also contributed to my relentless curiosity about life. The visual forms revealed from these areas of science reinforce my appreciation for the connection between the micro- and the macrocosm, a relationship also acknowledged by artists of antiquity.
             I feel linked to this mysterious blend of past and present cultures, sight and sound, nature, science, and spirituality. I am delighted to share with you these works produced along my artistic journey.
