Southern swamps, Long Island wetlands, Northern Ice, rain forests, the River Li in China, An Underwater series ( based on underwater photos I took around the Virgin Islands) an ongoing Fire Series, a Plantation Ghost Series (based on the decaying and troubling plantations on the islands in the Caribbean), are some of the places in the world that have been inspirations for my work.

Photographs, sketches and small paintings are done on location. Back in the studio, larger works, including 12 foot diptychs, paintings in acrylic, watercolor, drawing mediums, three dimensional aluminum screens, and mixed media prints (based on my photographs and created on the computer) are developed from the essentials of the nature experiences.

A series of “Inner Landscapes” which (for the first time in years) are not specifically place oriented have developed into the “Fleurs du Mal” series, which brings together the images of swamps I have visited and the distillation of how these experiences have worked on me.

In all my work, it is our biological and spiritual connection to nature that I am addressing.
