Artist Statement:
Living and working on the tip of the Cape has had a powerful and changing effect on my work.
The land, earth, sky and sea have cast a seductive spell over my vision. The solitude of the great beach and the back shore, the power of the North Atlantic, stir something deep within my being.
Winter with its harsh winds and gray color giving way to the burst of life in spring with its soft colors and sweet air both drive and enchant the creative process.
In the past my work contained many symbols and shapes that were both historic and universal. Now I am drawn to the natural world and yet those shapes and symbols still appear like the tide coming in and going out.
