I am a painter and practicing architect whose work combines painting and drawing with collage.

Objects found on the beach and in tide pools inspire my current work. The paintings describe an architecture that begins with the objects, filling in what I cannot see.

Natural historians began with the fascination for nature’s mysteries.

The unknown instilling a sense of wonder
Seaweed: watery residue left by tides
Primordial forms connecting to the unconscious.

I am currently working on a series of small paintings inspired by a visit to the
Fitzgerald Marine Preserve tide pools. For other paintings in this series see the tide pool paintings.
