Even my earliest childhood memories are full of crayon, pencils, and chalk. I traded paper doll drawings for arithmetic assignments in lower school and high school. Saturdays were spent at the Memphis Academy of Art. Work with Hans Hoffman and Jackson Pollock and a B.F.A. degree from Newcomb College of Tulane University followed. The visual arts of printmaking, drawing and especially painting have always been a basic life force for me.
Although my style has changed over the years, I've always been involved in the excitement of the surprise and the accidental. The physical sensuousness of the paint itself hold endless fascination - opacity versus transparency - thick versus thin. The intensity and meaning of color, shape and form bring a challenge of communication on visual levels. I aim to stimulate contemplation that seeks meanings that will differ from viewer to viewer - perceptions that refer to pleasure and treasures, relationships, memory and time.
