"My work often contains spiritual and magical elements, wonder for the natural world and occasionally topical themes such as environmental and social issues. Since I have no formal training, I have attempted to build a reputation based on success in national, international and regional juried shows and solo exhibitions. The competitions tend to be juried by museum directors and curators of note, such as the Director of the National Folk Art Museum, the Curator-in-Charge of the Renwick Gallery in the Smithsonian Museum of Art, and the Director of the Butler Institute of American Art, all of whom have honored me with awards. I am also grateful to have been granted two artist-in-residence fellowships from the National Park Service. I have been represented by commercial galleries in the Columbus area and also Blacksburg, Virginia, but like so many artists, am always on the hunt for new representation, since economics and health problems of owners have too often led to closure. My work is included in many private collections, as well as the collection of the U.S. Department of the Interior."
