My work explores two realms - the physical and the subconscious - employing the extremes of realism and abstraction.   Composition is a key focus in my realist work whereas colour and form dominate in my "mandalas".   The latter give abstract expression to my subconscious.   A recent marriage between my profession as a geologist and my passion for art has resulted in a new product that I call "wall rock sculpture".   I select naturally sculpted rock cobbles and arrange them to hang on a wall in compositions that allow their forms, colours and textures to interact.

I am mostly self-taught but have benefited greatly from short-term art classes given by various artists over the years.   I had some art training by correspondence during high school years and, more recently, I completed two art courses - digital imaging and web site design - at the University of Maine.
