Produces paintings, sculptures and prints with people, still life and landscape as motif.
With mostly landscape, still life, and people as my subject, I work with oil painting, printmaking and sometimes three-dimensional pieces. I've recently begun a sort of cutout method. The available choices are always all over the place. I have continued to allow my works to come out of this lack of control. It is as if the work is freed from an ambiguity, and there are times when I discover something.
