Artist's Statement:

"My work reflects my interest in the environment; natural, as in geology/land and artificial, as in structure/architecture. My imagery isan abstraction ofwhat I see and experience in the natural and artificial environment. My recent body of work is entitled "trace" as in trace evidence. The work appears minimalist at first but a closer look reveals unexpected marks that are highlighted by the grid drawn into the surface. My work is influenced by my surroundings in the Arizona desert where colors range from subtle changes to intense contrasts; similar to that of the shore"
