I think of all my work as "remnants and residents of a lost sanctuary of Aphrodite". The Petite Vessels series, of which Indigo Pot is one, are imagined offerings dedicated to the deity. Each is also a joyous meander through the world of pure color and form, in the guise of a still life. I love doing these paintings and usually make at least a few every week. I will happily do commissions in any color scheme or vessel form a patron might wish. A collector of several of my paintings, including three different Petite Vessels, said, "These little paintings are visual sonnets". They are painted on a substrate called Clayboard, which can receive virtually any media. I start with a completely abstract play of watercolor, ink, and marker. When that is complete I paint a vessel or other subject into the "space" created, using both water and oil media.

The motives underlying all my paintings are both current and timeless: our common need for sustenance, beauty, and grace. Humans have not changed dramatically since we first appeared and I look for threads of continuity, aiming to make imagery that’s rooted in the mythic, the mystic, and the cycles of Nature. Paintings of vessels, birds, plant life, and human figures are cast as aspects of an elusive yet inviting sanctuary. Frequently the images are rooted in the remnants of ancient cultures, both tangible and oral, but they are always responding to our current world as well. Concurrent with my professional art practice, soon after completing a dual major in fine art and philosophy, I was also an organic farmer from 1988-2017 largely occupied with goats and with effecting alchemical transformations of milk and plants. Those decades of raw, ever-precarious, thoughtful farm experience resonate throughout the artwork, testifying to the cycles & perils of life for all sentient beings, humans included.
