Early in 1999, a renewed interest in photography resulted in one of three submitted photographs accepted into the Millennium Photo Project. http://millenniumphoto.com/ .

Watercolor painting then continued to be my main interest until January 2003 when an experiment in cutting up a watercolor and reassembling the strips resulted in a style I called "watercolor weavings".  Janet Goetze of the Oregonian interviewed me and wrote an article on my work in 2003 entitled "Pieces of Art".

The woven paintings continued to be the focus of my art for the next five years until world travel consumed all my free time and photography replaced the weavings. The faces of the people and the places I visited became the new direction of my work. I was also attracted to the animals, insects and unusual images that were often missed by others. The camera became the tool to record what sometimes lies beneath the surface.
