oil & oil sticks on Oleo paper 19.75 x 29.75 x .1" Hawaii is such an enveloping place, every island is unique. The dichotomy of the old and the constant evolution of these volcanic islands inspires. This view struck me as so American, of a time when America was new. The beauty of the early morning mist and the light illuminating the cows freely roaming around ancient giant trees was an amazing sight. The colors were so true. It kind of reminded me of the scenes painted by the Hudson River School of mid-19th-century American painters. Very romantic, moody and idyllic. The use of oil paints on oleo paper gave me the ability to give dimension to this amazing and unique landscape. Feeling it as I painted!

gouache & Carand'Ache NeoColorsII on oleo paper 14.625 x 18.62 x 1.5" Having a vantage point away from people can give you the opportunity to really "study and see" the life happening around you. As an artist, this is very important and inspirational. The medium, gouache and Carand'Ache ll Aquarelle colors, gives an immediate opportunity to express and create the artwork. It lays down fast and dries quickly. I hope this piece, "Sunday morning at Track5, Coffee Shop", draws you in to really observe the painting. The "Characters" enjoying coffee under the moody warm lighting, seeming to create a movie like set. The fun of being so close, yet in your own space. Sometimes having nothing more in common than that morning brew & conversation. Enjoy!

Sculpture 13 x 13 x 10" Taking a raw block of Sylacauca marble and beginning to carve, not knowing the beginning or the end, is the most intuitive, exciting way I sculpt. If the design is already planned, it simply becomes process to get to the final form. But, direct carving, with no preconceived idea, is strictly an exploratory and intuitive approach to sculpting. The raw stone for Blanca, already triangular in shape, became a form with movement, where the inner void becomes as important as the outer form.

Digital Archival Photograph Sublimated to Aluminum 12 x 12 in. I am passionate about photography as an art form. In a world overfull with images, ideas, and messages streaming at warp speed, there's profound value in the thoughtfulness, the provocation, the silent aesthetic, the power of an image made with the vision and ever evolving techniques of fine art photography.

digital archival photograph sublimated to aluminum 16 x 24 x 1" Tibet first captured my imagination many years ago when I was in art school. I was finally able to make the journey to Tibet on a photographic odyssey as part of a life celebration for my 50th birthday. Even though there are very few elements in this picture, I see a complex emotional range. It is a fleeting moment that somehow has permanence and an endurance, even in a religion based on impermanence. The scene that is about to unfold might be almost exactly as it would have been six hundred years ago. But will it be the same six hundred years from now? The folded robes are silent. They contain both presence and absence. The answer is unknown.

Photography 12 x 12 in. Love Joy Art! Dave Lovejoy’s studio says it all. He loves the ‘patina of use’ of LA in the 30s & 40s. His office in a 1905 abandoned bank building has gold lettering that could be leftover by a Sam Spade of art. Eclectic spheres & globes, 18 paintbrushes arrayed, vintage molding meandering, an assemblage of 88 magnifying glasses is a living chandelier. The studio flows into the Last Bookstore (in the same antique building), a magical labyrinth of melting bookcases & flying books in Downtown LA for visiting booklovers. Imagination & inspiration. A ‘thingmaker’ meets me, a photographmaker. Voila!

Collage 12 x 14" My collages are intimate in size and are meant to be experienced close up. They may be narrative or suggestive. I relish the spontaneous process of instinctive play without knowing whether it will result in wonderful visual chaos or composed lyrical poetry. Collage is perfect for my creative process. “Hochhauser’s Walk” is a map of a personal journey, both literal and figurative. Although it is small, I have incorporated tearing, gluing, painting, stamping, scratching and mark-making to convey my experience, and perhaps to trigger memories or resonate with the viewer's own journeys.

sculpture 14 x 15 x 7" I created Healing Hands after I had gone through two years of grueling, intense, hand therapy to regain the use of my left hand, which I almost severed in a near-fatal studio accident. The original sculpture intuitively flowed from the chisels. It was a spiritual experience to have the piece evolve without hesitation. The original marble sculpture was cut in a pristine white, Colorado Yule Marble. I have cast bronzes of the original sculpture, which is owned by my brilliant hand therapist-- who healed the hand and the spirit at the same time. It is a possibility that this piece will be cast large-scale in the future. Today I am still carving one-of-a-kind stone pieces--two which have been commissioned as five-foot bronzes. A third twelve foot bronze is being developed and will go to production in the next few months. The three sculptures will be the focal points for a sculpture garden in Knoxville, Tennessee. They are due for installation in 2025. Having just reached the ripe old age of 81, I am happy to say that I am still able to follow my passion. Each day is most definitely a gift!

Portuguese Marble Sculpture 52 x 18 x 12" Freyr is a large vertical sculptures where forms criss-cross and stack to give volume without extreme weight. It is more easily moved and would work well in an entryway or large interior. A huge drawback to working in stone is dealing with the weight and the movability of the pieces. This was designed with that in mind. The interior form of Freyr (a protective force) actually moves within the outer form.

Colorado Yule Marble 36 x 12 x 7" Stalwart is one of my many horses produced in the land of horses -- Lexington, Kentucky. My horses are nor literal interpretations of the horse, but suggest an abstract interpretation. Stalwart represents strength, stability and as I finished him, I felt as if I were actually grooming my horse for the next race. He became very personal.

Dogs are all around my neighborhood so they become the animal inspiration. And heaven is a beautiful place with mosaics all around. I miss her very much and hope she safe.

watercolor 11 x 14" I enjoy working in many mediums and have fun while engaged in the creative process. I rarely if ever have an end picture in mind, as I mostly play and experiment in a very fluid way. I enjoy layering, trying new techniques and tools, and using more than one medium in a piece. I step away often to assess my next move and try to stop when it 'feels done'. It's often a very happy surprise, but sometimes the piece goes into the 'someday' pile/file for a future painting or collage. My inspiration comes from nature, color, new art supplies and processes, and language. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.

Soapstone 11.5 x 8 x 5" My artwork mirrors a twin-flame magnetic polarity of mediums; stone and ceramics, pushing against and pulling within. They allow for the expression of my form—an undulating essence of consciousness, a beginning and a beginning-again. Each work reflects the effects of time—shaping and reshaping, not in minutes and seconds, but a living lifetime of transformative movements of contractions and expansions intertwined in the nature of the self; ever-exposing the causeways of a life lived, unlived and yet-lived. In these veins of life, my raison d'etre runs, giving way to what is hidden within and what is exposed without.
