Well, friends, 2023 is the year I would like to begin to incorporate more fully my work with jewelry into the gallery. I aspire to do it in a way that shows the relationship of painting to my jewelry making. This means creating an exhibit that weaves the two media together showing how they reflect,…

In the soft abstraction series I explore diffuse lines, shapes and forms along with soft, blended color transitions. I feel the influence of Mark Rothko very powerfully in these works.…
