Each of my works is a journey impacted by the serendipity of life. You areinvited to follow me on one of these journies by entering my virtual gallery reading my studio journal or attending one of my shows. I do not paint wildlife, as such. I paint archetypes of human life and situations. As human beings have done for millenia, we use animal images or archetypes to represent sought after attributes, desires, and to help guide us through the meaning of life.

Why Circles?
Most of my paintings are in circular form. I find in most cases this form better fits my aims than square forms. It is also believed by some that Leonardo symbolized the material existence in Vitruvian Man by the square and spiritual existence by the circle. Thus he attempted to depict the correlation between these two aspects of human existence.
