I am in experimentation with the creative work of evolution, trying to make sense of the world through a prism held in muddy hands. While for many years I painted in isolation, for my own cause, currently I collaborate with writers and musicians on a regular basis, and also facilitate creative experiences for children with exceptional needs. Many of my paintings were included in the novel The Deceptive Smiles of Bredmeyer Deed by Susan Scutti, and I have been creating live art with the band Colorform for many years. As music, words and shared artwork with others always changes me I see art as diffuse light embedded in everything.
