(“In the Gallery” copyright 2004 The Festival of Arts. All rights reserved.) Between 1981 and 2007 my approach to painting, with few exceptions, remained fairly consistent. I was represented by 15 galleries at various times in Arizona, California, Texas and Florida. As the years passed I increasingly felt the need to explore new ways of working. I returned to Lincoln, Nebraska in 1997. In 2008 I began a new journey exploring new methods, materials and concepts. The CURRENT PAINTINGS on this website show some of these changes. New paintings will be added when they become available.
