I have been fascinated with geometry since that class I took in high school.  Further study opened my eyes to scared geometry and the patterns in nature which are part of the human experience.  I find a strange psychological comfort in repeating patterns.

Really, we're all basically naked.  Painting nudes is a cornerstone in classical  in art study.  The naked body allows access to the intimate vulnerability of the psyche.  Painting nudes is for me an intersection of beauty and emotion.

My abstracts use the language of color and texture as a means of emotional expression.  What is seen in them is up to the viewer.
