After a twenty year career as an Organization Development and Training consultant, College Professor, and Human Resource Manager, I retired and took up painting. Having worked on the left side of my brain for most of my adult life, I did a dramatic about face and switched to the right side of my brain. I became an artist!
The concept of "culture" has always intrigued me. I wrote my doctoral dissertation on culture creation in small, start-up companies. My research focused on the symbols, signs, words, behaviors, belief systems, values, and norms that contribute to the development of a company's culture.

Not surprisingly, once I began my second career as an artist, I was drawn to other cultures, both ancient and distant. Consequently, I enjoy creating ethnographic works of art in which text and other cultural symbols are embedded in my visual compositions in an effort to make meaning and allow each piece to speak a language all it’s own.

I am a mixed media artist. My work is typically multi-layered with collaged elements, heavily textured, brightly colored, and non-representational. Most of my paintings include hidden signs, symbols, and words that reflect an inner dialogue about the piece that is rarely evident at first glance. These hidden elements represent cultural artifacts, artistically expressed.
