About the Artist

I have had an interdisciplinary studio practice for 35+ years with works that include assemblage - furniture or household items - public art & installations - painting & graphic design comingled with digital-photo techniques.  Concurrently I have worked as a production artisan or used applied visual presentation techniques to support my other vocational track.  The production experience has included technical theater (set & scenic design, properties, posters), museum exhibit work, visual merchandising for regional retailers, art framing --- all of which have influences thereupon reflected in my personal work.   Though I have personal visions to pursue, I also love the collaborative process and working with others / helping others.  There is a strong emphasis and interest to my personal art for the recycling of found objects-material waste from other processes - discarded objects with historic imagery and what that can suggest.  I transform trash into art.  Shouldn't we all?  Wouldn't the World be a better place with more art and less trash?
