I am absorbed and inspired by the idea of the limitless possibilities we have in our lives. My oil paintings highlight the promise of our own creativity and capabilities, to be nurtured and explored and stretched to their fullest potential. Images of abstracted ribbons, eggs, flowers, and circles are used to symbolize celebration, connectedness, and the generation of new life and new ideas. Look carefully at each painting and you’ll find heavily textured areas that are built up with materials such as silicon wafers, silica sand, and paint. These textures represent creativity – in its most universal sense, and also the technology innovation specific to Silicon Valley in northern California. Silicon Valley is a hotbed of technical creativity. It is a place with a strong ‘anything is possible’ vibe. I participated in Silicon Valley’s high tech innovation every day for 20 years, first as an engineer and later in high-tech sales management. Now, I celebrate this innovation and culture from the position of full- time artist. We are, each one of us in this world, alive with possibilities.
