Born in Oregon in 1944, this American artist has built a life centered on observation, craft, and open-ended exploration. From early studies to a steady, hands-on practice, they have pursued how form, color, and texture communicate across surfaces and spaces. Grounded in a clear-eyed sensibility, their work often reflects a quiet dialogue with landscape, daily routines, and forgotten textures, inviting viewers to pause and interpret. Throughout a long career, they have engaged in studios and collaborative projects that emphasize process, material integrity, and thoughtful experimentation. A lifelong practitioner, they continue to develop bodies of work that emphasize clarity, restraint, and a patient commitment to making.
