I’m a visual artist. I’ve made a life of creating artwork for walls, for the stage, for museums and for you! I’m a realist of a sort. Peace is my aim.
Message
Collage Cards
These original collaged cards are created with vintage magazines in quirky, doundle netendre fashion. I loved the intuitive process and hope you will too. Get one or more to send to someone 'special' ,(they come with an envelope), sit out as a statement or conversation starter, or keep in a drawer for the right moment, these will amuse and scandalize!
Contemporary
I call this group of works 'contemporary'.They are3 a collection of my more minimalist style pieces and the architecture I love to paint.

Editions
Sometimes my work seems a little more universal so I make reproductions of them to make them more accessible to more people.
Landscapes
The world around us is full of shadow and light, colour and texture, in our structures and environments. I use them to talk about how we look in and out at the world.
