"Tango", at right, was selected for the 2002 exhibition of the American Watercolor Society in New York City. It is part of the artist's collection.

"The rural background of my youth continues today through my garden beds and the flowers I grow in my home, and therefore is a significant part of who I am and of the paintings I do. I suspect that tie will always be there although my life has taken many interesting turns as reflected in the paintings of water from the eastern coastal regions of the United States or of images from travels abroad.

Because of the time involved in the painting process, my thoughts often become involved in the poetry of the images as they develop. By the time the painting is finished, it becomes representative of what's happening in my life or in my thinking."
