acrylic 26 x 20 x 1.5" Three Sheets is an expression of how one hides behind a thin veil of imagined reality. It explores the impermanence of masking one's life artificially with intoxication. It has been said that an overstimulated being is Three Sheets to the wind, in essence, out of control. There are many ways one can be intoxicated. It could be love, emotional distress, fatigue, or just inebriation from consumption. As they say, what's your poison?

Acrylic 50 x 38 x 2"West End was inspired as I gazed out the window on a flight back from Ft Lauderdale on a crystal-clear morning. Leaving the urban jungle, the Atlantic Ocean consumed the horizon with a palette of deep blues and greens, sparkling like gems. As the West End of Grand Bahama Island came into view, the push and pull of tonal range increased creating an amazing design of shallows and depths. Inspired and in awe of this natural, abstract vision, West End was destined to be painted.

acrylic on canvas 9 x 11 x .5" This is one of a series of small paintings exploring the light and impact of Sunshine and Moonbeams in the South Florida Everglades, particularly in the Fakahatchee State Preserve. Each scene is abstracted, and a similar palette was used to give unity to the series with the goal of having each painting able to stand on its own.

Stoneware 30 x 20" I use pictorial imagery of various cultures, throughout history, by utilizing myths, religious and secular symbols in my work. The images are not literal, but symbolic expressions of prevailing ideas and thoughts about current issues in the world. I am recently exploring Global Warming and mass extinctions of flora and fauna across the world. Looking through the window of history and comparing current social issues with the past, I strive to provoke thoughtful consideration and awareness of diverse cultures in the world today.

oil 36 x 26 x 2" This is a self-portrait done at my favorite location in my house - the kitchen! It includes a small colored glass sailboat hanging in the window, made by my father shortly before his death.

oil 30 x 24 x 2" I am fascinated by light reflected on glass and water. One of my goals is to be able to render it impressionistically in oil paint. The glass box was made by my father who has passed away, so the scene held a double challenge for me as artist. I wished to pay a tribute to his artistry with my own.

photography 16 x 20 x 1" I have lived in places where winter is beautiful, but often brutal. I live in the South now and need to create my frozen spaces. My submitted images are fresh flowers plunged into water and ice. I believe I have the best of both worlds.

acrylic with drawing media on cradled board 20 x 20 x 1.5" Dark days of the quarantine resulted in a pall over everyday life, fostering solitude and stressing hope. My work explores the limitless possibilities of abstraction without reference to objective reality while it readily accesses a feeling or mood. In this work, layers of paint and lines mix together, shift and overlap, creating a floating movement as brighter spots are revealed beneath.

oil on paper 30 x 24" I love Central Park. I've come to know it rather intimately during the last three "Covid" years. I wanted to try and capture the feeling of a fleeting season in my painting. I used simplicity and abbreviated line and color to evoke the scene. The duck happily paddling along was the icing on the cake. I have painted similar scenes at this spot in spring and winter. No matter what else happens, it's a comfort to know it all will return again the following year.

photography 13 x 9" I strive to go beyond a subject's appearance to uncover a deeper, more elusive truth. That truth is revealed to me more vividly through the camera lens than through the naked eye. I see textures, and layers, and the way objects interact in geometric patterns to form other creations. I see shadows and reflections and sometimes an incongruous fusion of these elements. What I see in the camera lens joins with the impressions stamped in my mind's eye, informing the images I create.

photography 25 x 25" Worn by a variety of cultures in Africa, antiquity documents the wearing of Locs or Dreadlocks and braids back to 3000 BC in the Sahara Desert. Dreadlocks are worn for many reasons including religious/spiritual beliefs, rites of passage, ethnic pride, the rejection of capitalism and colonialism. The Crown Act, first signed into law in California in 2019, now law in 24 states including Texas, prohibits the denial of employment and educational opportunities based upon natural hair texture or style. Texas continues to draw national attention as it denies educational opportunites to students with Locs (protected under the Crown Act). The Crown Act has failed to pass the US Congress twice.

photograph 26 x 26 x 1.5" Inspired by Andy Warhol, the range of expressions in this quad was captured through conversation while exploring the idea, What is Female? I would offer that the best version of ourselves is not chromosomal assignment, but an enlightened combination of the feminine and masculine traits that we all possess, which are clearly visible in our expressions, and shared in our daily interactions with one another.

Acrylic gels, acrylics on canvas 8 x 10 in. This painting is from a series I called Kells, which refers back to medieval times and myths. It’s a time of magic with the uneasy feeling of spirits swirling around in the ether. To enhance these feeling, I’ve used many textured gels and rhythmic curved lines.

acrylic on stretched canvas 24 x 24 x 1.5" My approach in creating this artwork was to render a turbulent underpainting and then add an overlaid of white shapes which redirect the contrasting energies and movement of the image.

acrylic 23.5 x 31"How to depict the illusive concept of sin? Choosing an apple strongly symbolized this religious meaning, but how to render spirituality, devoid of gravity, was the challenge. The painting method implemented was to paint a setting of various deep blues pushing space forward and back. The wispy leaf-like lines created movement and visually flowed across the canvas implying spirit. The apple, in its purest form and color, is braced by 2 branches and created a stillness... Now the apple is ready to be picked.
