Artist Statement

Change is the chief constant in my art. My artistic training in the 1950s at Hollins College was traditional, and included many courses in art history. Study at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, with Hans Hofmann in Princetown, Massachusetts, and for the MFA degree at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro widened my horizons.

I observed directions in the art world, from the abstract expressionists onward, and played with many of those ideas. In the '60s, I studied the interaction of color and patterns. The '70s brought minimalism to my printmaking and dozens of studies for a large mural commission. In the '80s I returned to painterly realism.
