About
“Art is the means we have for undoing the damage of haste”–Roethke
I am self taught in silkscreen, watercolor, acrylic, and airbrush on paper, canvas, and silk. I also construct iconic assemblages of found & fabricated objects. My work is informed by poetry, mythology, and Buddhism, and inspired by salmon, dogs, and all things earthly. I currently have a working studio in Eugene, OR, with the 2nd Avenue & Blair St. Warehouse artists.
