I began working with large oils in a cool palette of blues and greens. Studies in New York and Venice brought me to a broader exploration of acrylic and pastel on raw canvas and work with video and electronic music. Work with performance artist Norm Davis led to a series of large scale installation works as back drops for international collaborations such as Terra Nova, Café Noir, Light-Licht & Second Stage Chaos. Currently I work with acrylics & pastels on canvas, photography and digital art processes Painting & Digital Art Portfolios    Digital Art 2020+  Paintings 2017-19  Acrylics & Pastels  Oils  Art Installations  Digital Art Digital_Art/Pages/Digital_Art_2020+.htmlPainting/Pages/Painting_2017-2019.htmlPainting/Pages/Acrylic_%26_Pastels.htmlPainting/Pages/Oils.htmlPainting/Pages/Art_Installations.htmlDigital_Art/Pages/Digital_Art_1.htmlPainting/Pages/Painting_2020+.htmlDigital_Art/Pages/Digital_Art_2020+.htmlPainting/Pages/Painting_2017-2019.htmlPainting/Pages/Acrylic_%26_Pastels.htmlPainting/Pages/Oils.htmlPainting/Pages/Art_Installations.htmlDigital_Art/Pages/Digital_Art_1.htmlPainting/Pages/Painting_2020+.htmlshapeimage_3_link_0shapeimage_3_link_1shapeimage_3_link_2shapeimage_3_link_3shapeimage_3_link_4shapeimage_3_link_5
