Statement

My primary field and training is in the visual arts. As a practicing artist and educator I have often found delight in those areas in which art and mathematics intersect. Historically this intersection begins, of course, with Brunelleschi's invention of linear perspective and reaches a modern peak in the work of M.C. Escher. I am perpetually inspired by the design possibilities in the tradition of Islamic patterns, and enjoy experimenting with derivations based on those principles.

Artworks

Transformation of pattern through images and tessellated tiles including a self portrait and evolving forms of bats and butterflies.
