My work has its own narrative with glimpses of stories, history and memories, but ultimately is about form, color, space and abstraction. It is also about a place where the intuitive becomes one with all the experiences collected from a lifetime as a working artist.

You can expect to see works in progress as well as finished work and work for sale. You can see my garden as well.

I work in a backyard studio shed that is accessed from a gate next to the house. There are no stairs, but there is a slight grade up the front path and the terrain is varied. If it has been raining, the unpaved path to the studio may be somewhat slippery or muddy.

Currently working towards a show in Stavanger, Norway opening July 17
