We are complex creatures. Born of memories passed on through our DNA, living with varied experiences to inform the way we see the world, and yet at the core of humanity and without exception, we have the same desires and needs, not just food and shelter for survival, but also love and compassion. For this coming year, I hope with all my heart that we find our common bond and embrace one another. The survival of our species depends on recognizing that our differences are far, far less important than our interdependence. May we prosper in unison.

Creating visual images that spark self-reflection and motivate the healing process is my passion. As a Vietnam-era Navy veteran, I find guiding therapeutic art groups for the veteran community enriching. Inspired by outdoor vistas, much of my artwork features unusual landscapes highlighting nature's graceful beauty. You can see my celebration of spirit in the Vibrant Nature and Universe Sensations series or the integration of man and universe in Man & Energy. And The Price of Freedom is my visual tribute to the courageous men and women of our military. Every day I find joy, hope, and acceptance in my craft. My wish for you is that through my artwork, you experience the same.
