Welcome! 
My site is always in progress.  Images, poetry, and thoughts
behind my creative efforts evolve.

My interest at the moment is exploring the properties of tetrahedrons, spheres and patterns in nature. I hope to promote discussion by the application of surface textures containing social commentary, biology, and geoscience subject matter while promoting appreciation for the complexity of patterns in nature.

My background as sculptor, teacher, gallery director, and curator has been a path to unexpected revelations and of course to the big questions about myself, artistic endeavor, and life.

Thanks for coming.  Enjoy your visit!
