My interests in all things allow me to imagine my work by size, color, material, and fabrication technique. I have extensive education and training in many disciplines. I am able to pursue virtually any direction I may choose to follow 2D or 3D.My inspirations are motivated by the manipulation of materials: paints, wood, concrete, plastics, fiberglass, and metals, as will as architecture, natural surroundings, abstract and graphic patterns, sound, motion, shaped surfaces, and of course, humor.
