The scope of my artwork includes collage, mixed media, artist-made books, drawing, photography, and printmaking. I share a studio with my partner, Denise, at Wamalingo Studio in Brentwood, MD. I have exhibited in many local exhibitions through the years and my work has been collected in public and private collections.
If there is any common thread throughout my work it would best describe as embracing the elements of chance, accident, improvisation as well as natural abstraction. At times, it also involves my personal attack on rationality and a materialistic and disposable world.
