Influences
I find my inspiration from a variety of sources, but especially from visual storytellers. Odilon Redon, Giotto, George Grosz, children who make pictures, and the traditional folk artists of Asia, America, Africa and the Pacific are my special artistic heroes.

Materials
I grew up drawing pen and ink cartoons and book illustrations and printing lithographs. But today I am involved in both color and black and white imagery.

I still draw editorial cartoons using permanent felt-tip pens. My paintings often combine various materials such as watercolors, childrens’ crayons, colored pens and pencils, China markers and even coffee or tea washes. I also use the computer as an electronic paintbrush, creating pictures using a Macintosh computer and Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and Painter.
