My work is that which I can translate from my experiences, walking through the city, on the beach, sitting in a park or wherever I have grasped a moment.  

I take these moments into the studio or into my sketchbook and work out the compositions that I have structured internally.  

The end result is always somewhat a surprise to me as the process of transferring my imagination to something physically tangible is an adventure that often takes spontaneous directions along the way.   

I like to combine oil pastel line work with acrylic paint in my pieces, a technique that has evolved from my love of drawing and connection with vivid color.  

I am also working with clay and wood three dimensional forms suspended in front of images.  

These pieces move with air flow and create interesting depth and movement.  

Currently, I am working on several techniques, including collage, shadowboxing and mixed media featuring sheet music.  

Many forms of the arts, always Japanese and Chinese woodblock prints as well as American street/folk art, inspire me. 

I live in Fort Collins, CO with my balance (wifey Christine) and fire (son Soren).
