As an artist and graphic designer, I have been creating work for over 25 years. In this current body of work, I use Lacquer as the medium because of the intense colors, surface textures and unique blending abilities.

The “Iron Deposits On Stones” series developed from a trip to Alaska many years ago.  I discovered a riverbed, located in the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park & Preserve, where water, rich in iron, had dripped onto a section of rocks and left circles of rich blues, rusty oranges and smokey grays. The natural coloration and circular patterns, created by the constant dripping, was intriguing to me. Lacquer, I later found, was the perfect medium to recreate the unique patterns that nature had so carefully crafted.

Koi Series: Koi have always been an interest of mine. Their rich colors and graceful form always strikes me as something beautiful and peaceful. The eight-panel piece has been a two-year project. It’s done in a pointillist style and each panel can stand-alone or come together to form a whole composition.
