I make art, contemplate, write and behave creatively in studio 6 at Hart-Witzen http://www.hartwitzengallery.com/studio6.html in the NoDa arts district of Charlotte, North Carolina. My studio overlooks a tranquil patch of grass and trees. My bubble wrap curtains allow me to see out while letting the light in.

A studio practice of working daily can be challenging. I have a routine that was at one time very obsessive. Now I am much more laid back. Lately to warm up my creativity I have been painting on photographs. Then I begin working on my installation- a system of organisms that are becoming more topographical and map like. I am using metal wire to crochet it. By afternoon I am painting! It takes me that long to get to the larger modular works.
