Throughout my career, I have always experimented with, and learned about, different media. My early work in stained glass has had a continuing influence on my work. It enforces designing images with a focus on shape and outline. It imparts a folk-art feeling to the work. Hooked rugs, colored pencil, oil painting, acrylics and various printmaking techniques have been some pursuits. The style that has brought me the most attention has been executed with oil pastels.
