History/Info. :

I strive to give homage to the beauty of nature. I prefer to work with different mediums, as each one has its own mutual fascination. I favor acrylic and oil for detailed impressionistic and sometimes almost abstract nature scenes. I love watercolor works of old masters and use similar techniques for portraits of people, plants, and animals. But currently I am working mostly with scissors cuttings (Scherenschnitte). I create my paper cuttings in black and white because I like to concentrate fully on the composition and the dramatic effect of light versus dark. This is also the traditional form of this very old art form.
