I now live in Saint Paul , Minnesota where I am carrying on with an expressionist and abstract response to all the water and trees. My main inspiration has been nature and the landscape but the human figure grabs my imagination too (of course we're nature too). Right now I'm working on a series of abstract figures and becoming more and more interested in abstraction because it feels like playing - it feels like freedom!
