Memory, transitional moments, boundaries, borders, edges, identity and difference are recurring themes in my work.

Often my process begins with my response to a specific poem.  This response is emotional in nature and is then melded with a compositional structure derived from an autobiographical reference.  In a sense, the structure is a foil for an improvisational and intuited response to a poem.  Over the years, this process has allowed me to use a range of source materials to develop varying imagery exploring the themes of memories, transitional moments, boundaries, borders, edges, identity and difference.
