My primary media is Photography.       I print my images on film and then start expanding on those images.  Depth is usually what I am after. Images that continue to change, evolve. Ones that display something new each time you look at them.

     My film etchings are actual etched film. These pieces are printed on film and then etched and pigmented.  I use the film as the plate. Using an etching tool I change an individual photograph, through the etching process and create something individual. The final image is a blend of etching, drawing and photography. They are full of detail and due to the quality of film and the lighting effects this medium enables, the image is continually changing and recreating itself.

My screens and room dividers evolved out of a desire to bring art off the walls and into the living space.  These screens are reminiscent of the Japanese Shoji screens, but modernized to the extreme. They are all made of Ortho Litho Black & White Film, covered with Resin. The film is cut and placed onto the screen base.  Some have a marbleized back, some have etched film which can bring in more color. They all have many details; see-thru holes;  scenes blended together;  geometric shapes; all of which add to the depth of the piece.  Each screen is one of a kind  and is continually changing with different lighting scenarios.

The Free Form Acrylic Works are an exercise in abstraction. They are made of plexiglas with acrylic medium and colored enamels. They can be used in a variety of ways, including cabinet doors, window hangings, room dividers, and just about anything a designer can think of.
