I am a New Orleans artist.

Although I have traveled throughout the world,

I have chosen to live in New Orleans,

a unique and visually splendid city. It has delighted me since I was a child.

When I was studying art at Loyola University,

I would explore the streets of New Orleans,

looking at the shadows and lights, lines and shapes.

It is a city full of colors.

I am interested in the way colors, lines and shapes play with one another.

Colors vibrate with life, just like the city of New Orleans.

My abstract landscapes are inspired by camping in the Australian Outback. I am drawn to the horizon line between land and sky, like the line between water and sky in the wetlands of the Gulf Coast.

I use oil pastels, oil paint, and pencil, on canvas and wooden boxes.
