I've evolved from straight drawing and painting to what I call 'combinatory art'.
I create collages out of prints and photos of my own paintings and drawings, leaving the originals intact while recycling the images.
In sculpture this involves combining materials such as steel, stone, styrofoam, wood, plastic, glass, rubber and aluminum. The process sometimes involves items made from those materials, such as skis, crutches, tennis rackets, chairs, hula hoops and balls of all sizes, from golf balls to bowling balls.
