Fibonacci was a 13th Century mathematician, who developed a sequence of numbers that create the Golden Ratio. The Golden Ratio produces the unique properties of the Golden Rectangle. The Golden Rectangle can result in a nesting process that can be repeated into infinity - and which takes on the form of a spiral. Many aspects of nature, architecture, art, and music follow these ratios and the logarithmic spiral.
These paintings were constructed using the Fibonacci sequence.

This series of paintings reflect both a figurative and abstract notion of the box.
How do we construct and organize ourselves and the world we live in.
The boxes become a metaphor for ourselves, an open invitation to keep, take, and organize ideas and things.

This series of paintings is about how small simple things can represent larger ideas.
Adding a ribbon to a simple box transforms the box into a gift, with all of the care, excitement, and mystery a gift represents.
With some simple folds, a piece of paper can become a boat, a hat, or a cup. It is a simple yet huge transformation from one thing into another.
A handful of sand and stones, carried home from the beach, can represent a place, a time, an experience. They are small and simple, but they can be a touchstone for so much more.

This series of paintings on plaster was inspired by my travels in Italy. The walls, both inside and out, were full of life, displaying a rich patina of age, color, and texture. History was revealed in the frescoes and architecture. I created these large-scale paintings as a way of bringing those wonderful places and experiences home with me.
