I had a strong creative period in my late teen years, drawing, assemblage, photography, screenprints. 

Over time “creative” was channeled through food and cooking,

then adding gardening and found-object garden art. 

With a focused effort I've developed a studio in my home, and taken some classes. 

For decades I've been collecting small, precious or beautiful or strange objects/fragments, always intending to use them in multi-media work. 

I seem to bounce between painting and this assembled format - and combining the two.
