After painting portraits and landscapes in oil, at age 40 I jumped head long into traditional printmaking with all of its disciplines.  The study of lithography, serigraphy, etching and woodcut led me to the creative, open-ended exploration of the collograph and monotype mediums.  I absolutely "wallowed" in all of the possibilities offered.
Encaustic painting soon became a continuation of my fascination with color and texture.  Then my focus shifted to an emphasis on collage materials to create "new look" paper pieces.
Every medium that I embraceoffers the possibility of discovery that "fuels the fires" of creative energy that we, artists seek.
           The passion that drives us all, is the hope that we will get better, not older.
           True creativity is elusive.  It leads us on with the promise of immortality.  If we are very, very good, we will be remembered.  That is enough.
