ARTIST STATEMENT
I am drawn to document historic architecture, interiors, and gardens that date from the 11th to the 19th centuries. I look to represent both the classical motifs and the beauty that is found in these historic structures as well as present a backdrop for the imagination of lives lived. The formality in much of the work is guided by the desire for a sense of order in the world of experience.
