ARTIST STATEMENT
"Designs, color and motion are the elements
that dance around in my head and become the heart of my work. My off-balanced
arrangement of these elements without a focal point is like "off-beat
phrasing in jazz music." I invite the viewer to linger awhile and "listen
for the beat that is never sounded."
