1977-Connecticut Field
”I found that most images, if recognizable, are received and viewed easily!”
When I decided to leave my first career, it took me a little time to find a way to begin to express my creativity. Photography happened to pop up and that was where I started. I had been showing my images to Connecticut painter Alex Zarick and he commented that my “eye” and interest were more like a painter than a photographer and in the long run, he was correct!
I made photographs, and showed them in galleries until 1984 when I decided that I needed to have more freedom to express myself and from that point on, I started painting!
1978-Whites Pond
I continued to be interested in reflections and how what we see, may not always be a simple three-dimensional recognizable image. As a result, I spent a lot of time with my head down looking at the shadows and shapes that caught my eye.

Eventually, I began to want to abstract my images. Of course, the human form can be the best way to '“play” with abstraction because it is so fluid and can be hard or soft-edged in the process.

Collage
I was looking at a few of my prints and one day just decided to do a collage. Here is one of them combining the floor and outside wall.
