Collectively, the 3 of us have over 100 works. The cinergy of our work is exhilerating and beautiful. I am very proud of this exhibit and what to share it with everyone. It's a must see!

"Look" 4.25x3.75 collage


O.K., this will be another sneak peek for the Carnegie Show. "Look" is a 4.25x3.75 collage. I am passionate about works on paper. Collage has been a fascination for a long time. I've never experimented with it until after an inspiring trip to Miami Basil this past December with Paula Wiggins and Donna Talerico. We even hung out with Shepard Fairey!

River Romance I 11x11 pastel


This is a sneak peek for a show at The Carnegie Art Center in Covington , Ky. opening September 10th 2010 with Paula Wiggins (mixed media) and Oliver Debikey (blown glass). I have chosen one of my passions as my theme - the river. There will be large to small works on canvas and paper.I've also included some miniature collages. These interpretations of the river are from many different perspectives...aerial to vistas from Cincinnati to Kentucky...sunrise to sunset.
I have been extremely interested in letting the process of painting in oil and pastel remain visible in this body of work.
The river is not the only passion that will be represented. Barns have been an obsession of mine for almost 50 years. Hope to see you there.
