Lately I've been authoring colorful, multi-layered serigraphs and collages, combining digitally generated images with hand drawn motifs.  I'm influenced and intrigued by Art Brut, old-school portraiture, and historical accounts of places at the edge of western culture. I aspire, in life and art, to discover places, words, and images with the power to unite disparate generations, cultures, and individuals.
