In my work I invite comparsions of people, places, and things in richly textured dynamic compositions. My selection of subject matter comes from current cultural artifacts of absorbed myths, stories, and icons, which have personal significance. By contrasting  both plastic elements and figurative ones I invite the viewer to consider the interaction of my choices and react to the visual reality which I have created. I hope that my reinterpretation of sometimes familiar sources will provide a new appreciation of their expressive power.
