Visual Mediation is the theme of my work. This theme has been ongoing throughout my career as an artist.  It is inspired by a lifetime study of Eastern and Western Philosophy and Mysticism. I consider my work as a meditative, spiritual practice. 

Philosophically, I feel that everything is spiritual and therefore making art is a spiritual experience, literally a visual meditation. Painting (oil, acrylic, watercolor), printmaking (intaglio photopolymer), and book art (mixed media), are the mediums I use. My themes are an expression of what is important in my life. Each theme has its own artist statement. Subjects vary according to the theme. They can be realistic or abstract.
