Home: Bio
I have recently returned to my art practice from an extended hiatus that mainly involved multiple house renovations and child rearing. These occupations did not happily coexist with the creative art process as total immersion in the subject proved to be virtually impossible.
Featured below are a few of my recent works. This site will be a constant work in progress as I continue to add new works and some selected previous exhibition pieces.
