I create art in a variety of media, including pencil, watercolor, pastel, photography, printmaking, charcoal, and calligraphy. I also write poetry, which has won awards and been published, and play musical instruments, including piano, harpsichord, carillon, clarinet, flute, recorder, mandolin, violin, guitar, and viola. In addition, I have a strong educational background in science, math, and engineering. In whatever medium I work, nature is usually my subject, whether I am portraying a single flower or animal, or a landscape. Sometimes, I feel that focusing upon details can increase my understanding of a subject. I do try to maintain a balance, however, between concentrating upon important minutia, and retaining the overall, far-reaching view. I feel that while many subjects in nature can seem fleeting and ephemeral, they also possess a timeless constancy. In my art, I like to explore how nature, imagination, literature, and science collaborate together to enrich our lives.
