Four of the fifteen Woods of Wonder - Cawthra Trail markers were stolen between 4pm October 22 and 8am October 23. As it takes three types of tools to remove the fasteners, this was a planned theft.

About Me
My Medium
My Inspiration
My Medium
I instruct students in a variety of two and three dimensional media. Most of my own artwork in recent years has focused upon acrylics, exterior latex murals, and digital imaging. I am very aware of layers and creating the illusion of shallow depth in my artwork, so my media choices are dictated by the perceptual effects I wish to achieve.

My Inspiration
Nature offers an abundance of inspiration for me. I enjoy exploring the delicate beauty that I see in up-close examinations of flora and fauna. Whether I am studying the tender petals of a cherry blossom, or the wings of a dragonfly I want to show its exquisite beauty and delicate frailty. The ephemeral quality of nature inspires me to give it permanence in my art.
