• Water Series Gallery
  "I have always been drawn to water. I observe the constantly changing forms, colors, and light-play in the depths and on the surface of water. The watercolor medium lends itself well to the portrayal of water and the silk it is painted on adds a light and fluid quality. I will always paint water."
  
  
• Ikebana Series Gallery
  "Ikebana is an art conceived by the inspiration and desire of humanity to capture, interpret and enhance, with creative imagination and artistry, the beauty of the living “Way of Flowers.”
  –Minobu Ohi
  
  "I studied Ikebana in the Sogetsu school. I create arrangements for the pure enjoyment of it, and for the contemplative beauty that these natural sculptures bring to our environments. Ikebana symbolizes harmony and the oneness of all living things. This is an art form that has informed my painting by adding a heightened awareness of three-dimensional form, line, and space. These ikebana still lives combine two art forms with which I resonate."
  
  
• Other Work Gallery
  "In recent years I have been able to discover much of the American West. One could spend a lifetime exploring the peaks and canyons. These are paintings that cover a variety of subjects from road trips, day trips, to my own backyard."
