My work is largely focused on the human figure and on human relationships, how we actually look, both to ourselves and to each other. These images stay with me until I am able to get them onto canvas. Our drama of day-to-day living is endlessly fascinating. I have worked in both special education and preschool as a classroom teacher until retirement. Every day art projects for children provide a way for them to "take notes, " even if they cannot write. I have found that images and music are frequently a means to understand things like science, and to define and record the many ordinary events of our lives. They are all important.
