Statement

For most of the year, I spend my time teaching academic writing and research basics to undergraduates at the University of California San Diego. I've had to find a way to calm the "mind chatter" during my summers off, one that doesn't involve the written word. 

So I've taken a new direction: painting.   Here in Fallbrook, we're surrounded by a crazy jungle of native and exotic vegetation.  The contrast in colors and textures is mind-blowing.  It's a great place for a novice artist to give it a try.  
Here are a few of my creations.  Enjoy!
