NATURAL ORDER OBSERVED I have been an independent studio artist for many years and focus on a naturalistic realism that can border on the surreal. I create images that represent ideas and places within my own experience and through the use of transcendent observation attempt to evoke the essential spirit of my subject. Well aware of modern trends I use a "low technology -high technique" approach. My artwork is completely hand done and materials prepared in traditional and contemporary methods. My Prints and Paintings have been included in over 55 National group exhibitions such as: 2010: "Printwork'10",The Barrett Art Center's 5th National Printmaking Exhibition,Barrett Art Center,Poughkeepsie,NY .
