It is my wish that my work, in some sense, be able to convey the subtle and lively enchantments that the common objects we live with hold for us. I want the viewer to look beyond the ordinary and utilitarian to the play of color, line and shape that is constantly unfolding around us. The Rogue Valley has such a great number of talented artists and on September 3, 2009 announced it's FAVORITE ARTIST category.
