Abstraction in Nature
​Art is embedded in nature and they who can extract it, have it.   
                                                 Albrecht Durer 1471-1528

Statement
What intrigues me about abstract art is the problems it presents.
It is much like putting the pieces of a puzzle together – arranging and rearranging elements until the composition comes together.

I bring to my work a concern for color, shape and line, and their relationship to each other. My imagery is based on abstract forms found in natural settings - most recently, Denver's Botanic Gardens. The spontaneous character of my work reflects the energy I gather from my natural surroundings.
