About Me

My Photo
The idea for COLOR BRIDGES came from many sources. Portland State College 1962,Professor Frederick Heidel's first painting assignment was to make a grid and explore mixing colors to arrange on the grid to see how they would look. Moving these painted pieces of paper on different backgrounds bring back 4 years of studying painting with Heidel. Each arrangement I have made are like his assignments. They have a goal of basics while allowing the emotions freedom. Another source was Professor Mary MacIntire at Western Washington University who was a member of Fiber Design and I had the honor of photographing for a statement about her process. She used to move around pieces of colored paper to design her fiber works.

Preparing for New Work


I feel the let down after the exhilarating opening of the "Feathers, Fins and Fire" exhibit. So I start cleaning up the studio and making plans for future exhibits. Finding this old painting of a ferry docking, I begin to paint over 80% of the surface. It is 22" x 28"
