"Iron Ikebana," steel and paint.

Art is my sanity, joy, frustration and passion. I learn by going where I have to go. Even as I strive for maximum intensity with a minimum of means chaos and chance play in my work as they do in daily life. My subject matter is the human animal, our relationships to each other and to the world we inhabit.

Whatever the scope of the work I mean it to invite reflection, to offer a degree of mystery and to challenge the emotional and intellectual perceptions of the viewer.
