My work focuses on my concern with the damage humans are doing to the planet and where our culture is heading. I do acrylic paintings with collaged newspaper and maps on. I am doing a series of installations relating to plastic waste. The first was a 9x13 foot room at Artomatic DC, 2024, inspired by an installation I did in a Washington Project for the Arts show years ago. The second site specific installation was at the Crows Nest gallery in Baltimore MD, in 2025.
