Natural world


The primary influence on my work is the natural world, from the expanse of space to the microscopic view of structures. 
I am not interested in reproducing what I see. Instead I am seeking a way to go beyond the world  of nature and into the place between what we can see and what we cannot.

My interest, at either end of this spectrum of this reality, continues to feed my imagination.

Doodling and sketching everyday




For most of my life I did not think of myself as creative at all. Then, many years ago, I started doodling and sketching everyday. I filled countless sketchbooks with scribbles and notes. Each day in class I worked alongside my students making art and after school I worked with students constructing sets for plays.  I made art with my children and grandchildren. I made art that covered the walls in our homes. I collected junk and filled the garage and studios with art.  My motivation was simply filling my life with art.  I found myself in a role where I needed to be creative each day, developing new ideas for class projects and home projects. Creativity is important for many reasons. It is a path and process for not getting stuck in old habits and ineffective ways of seeing yourself and the world. Creativity can help with problem solving, with creating healthier relationships, and with having a healthier and happier life.


What I learned is that creativity isn’t something that you have or don’t have. It is something that you can nurture and develop.
