My process is grounded in craftsmanship and poetry.

each artwork stems from a poem which inspires the sketches.

using traditional methods, I paint with watercolors, gaouche, or 22 karat gold.

I am grateful to have studied with master painters in several traditions.

In the words of the Japanese Zen poet Basho:

“Seek not to follow in the footsteps of the masters; seek what they sought.”
