As a retired high school math teacher, I love precision, neatness, shapes, puzzles and patterns. There is a distinct connection between art and mathematics so I am not surprised that I turned to creating art now that I have more time.

I find the relationships between marks and shapes and colors intriguing.Those relationships have the power to evoke memories and feelings, a sense of a specific time or place. For me, art making is a kind of meditation...a way of slowing down, of escaping the obligations and busyness of everyday life.
