I make paintings in my Central New York studios and potter about in my garden conjuring painting images, talking to the birds and spirits of my ancestors while witnessing nature's resplendent dance. Local folk long ago declared me batty.

I was reared on the grounds of East Louisiana State Hospital in Jackson, surrounded by lush hill and ravine countryside an hour north of Baton Rouge. Inspiration for my work still emanates from the patients, wild boars, snakes, mossy magnolias, toad frogs, purple-fringed passion flowers, celebratory culinary delights, and heady mystical symbolism.
