An American artist, born near Chicago, Illinois, in the 40's. Current studio in Texas.Doorways and portals can be places in the imagination--places of magic and mystery. They can lead us into other worlds, very often from the physical world to a world we intuit. My artwork is my voice in that world. I invite you to join me in my vision of magical places of light and dark and mystery.
