Blue Tree Gallery paper lamps are created with wire and a variety of natural fiber papers. The affect of soft light, filtering through the natural fibers of the paper, creates a richly textured, colorful luminescence.

Texture, dimension, and the love of color are exciting to me and are the basis for my artwork. The use of disparate elements are a challenge in bringing a piece together to a conclusion of good design. My paintings are non-representational and are a construction of layers of acrylic paint, washes and glazes over a textured surface. This is what my work is all about. I hope to strike a cord with my viewers so that they are intrigued and mesmerized by what they are seeing.
