On September 2nd, Labor Day, there will be a pre-view sale of these paintings at Café 15, 322 Third Street, where some of them will be on view until November 10.

"I am a sculptor, who also enjoys painting and drawing. I am not tied to any particular medium, and I thrive in experimenting and blending many materials. I am interested in forms, surfaces, visual metaphors and the emotional responses that my art work evokes. I particularly enjoy teaching art and using these processes both as forms as self-expression and as a means to heal oneself. " Archives
