acrylic 13.5 x 13.5" My work in paint explores the backyard of imagination using ebullient colors in combination with the serendipitous experiences found in processes that use untraditional techniques and alternative tools. The results are oddly harmonious incongruities. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.

B/W silver photograph on fiber with inks 9.5 x 9.5 in. w/frame 16.5 x 16.5 in. While enjoying some street photography on Ninenzaka Walkway, Kyoto, Japan, a lovely, young woman in full Geisha regalia ran past me at the speed of light. With no time to prepare, I instinctively snapped a photo. Then, as if an apparition, she was gone. Later, I found her facial expression curious. Contemplative? Reflective? Amused? This black and white silver image is printed on archival fiber paper and hand-colored with Marshall inks. The custom frame is inspired by Japanese frames. It has a silk-wrapped matt inner frame bordered by a mahogany liner frame, and a mahogany-toned wooden outer frame.

Recycled is an abstract expression—a personal, yet universal language—which combines concept with experience. It is many things at once. Technically: It is a mixed-media painting, a “combine” of painting with sculpture together with a collage of found, repurposed and recycled objects. Conceptually: It’s a puzzle, a design, a color way, a magical mystery to explore and decode thoughts and ideas about “recycling”. Physically: It is constructed from acrylic paint, watercolor crayon, archived with newly-created palette skins and found objects. All of these elements take direction from the Muses of the Imagination. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.13.25 x 13.25 x 3"mixed media

acrylic on cradleboard 13.25 x 13.25" Color and experimentation are my muses. The materials for this piece—principally palette skins with complementary abstractions—require a process of trial and error. A strong design is central to success! Anxiety caused by traversing real and imagined worlds is the burden of my process. Serendipity, its gift!

acrylic on canvas 20 x 20 x 1.5" Bloom is focused in the photosynthesis of planktons and the journey this species go through yearly from the Atlantic to the Arctic. I was very intrigued to find this natural phenomenon and see the similarities to my work style. I intentionally mimicked the density of the reproduction of plankton, which their presence changes the color of the water in which they live, leaving a colorful trail in the ocean. My approach is very intuitive; through the use of washed acrylics aligned around earthy colors, I create space-contained systems driven by shapes, layers, patterns and textures to represent the alge bloom.

Little Madison came to model for me but she was very shy and didn't know what pose to take. She began crying when she saw that people would be watching, but I promised her that they would look at me, and not at her. I asked her what she did for fun and she said she loved to draw. I said, "Me too! Would you like to use my drawing pencils and paper and make some drawings for me?" For over two hours she sat and drew, while I created this little sculpture. Her purple shoes led me to believe that deep inside this shy little girl, there was a big artist inside.

I was so inspired by all the young children, the beautiful innocence, the trust they give and the dedication given to join and understand tradition. Children are truly an empty vessel. I find it so ironic that we think we can teach and fill this vessel, when this emptiness is something we should all learn from. When I am able to listen and learn, when I harbor empathy and understanding deep within my soul, I feel like I can understand the child I saw standing in the shadows of the church, with all his earnestness.

sculpture 11 x 9 x 11" It is often hard to appreciate the seasons of life, the aging, the changing, the growing, the adapting, and the coping. But the pain disappears when I remember there is a reason for each season, and it is merely so we can get to the next - Winter is here in hibernation; thinking and breathing; storing energy; coiling it up for the destined release.

mixed media 13.5 x 7" Connected/Disconnected Quote: ‘He stared at his phone like it was a magic eight ball. And on that day in a matter of seconds Mr. Harrigan predicted the future. The future of the internet, the future of the news, of fake news, social media, of pay walls and spam, of Julian Assange and Edward Snowdon and the world.’ John Lee Hancock, from the movie adaptation of Mr. Harrigans Phone and a novella of the same title by Stephen King. We all now stand heads bent paying homage to the world in our hands, ignoring all the rest of the world around us.

This is a painting that resulted from my trip one early morning last Fall. I couldn't see well enough to determine if a deer was really off in the distance that morning, but something in the field looked like the form of a deer. I really enjoy capturing the natural beauty of the Midwest landscape to share with viewers--especially when the morning light creates such vibrant color for a painter to enjoy.

They are meant to provide contemplative solace to the viewer as they do for the maker. The pieces are ceramic clay painted with oil paint. They range in size and are made to be wall hanging or free standing. They are made spontaneously. They are a joy to make.oil on ceramic 13 x 6 x 6"

oil on canvas/seed beads 24 x 24" Night Cover is from a body of work that is considering barriers. I am using stone walls as a metaphor for exclusion and inclusion. I ask the viewer to consider where one is positioned in relation to the wall -is one included or is one excluded? The painting is oil on canvas with the seed beads hand laid around the image. The beads are in the background but they come forward creating a visual tension-a tension that is reflected in the notion of walls/barriers.

My parents suffered extreme early traumas that left them fearful of others. Their influence was a huge obstacle for me to overcome. As a result, I am sensitive to the damage to people, communities, and nations when fear prevents us from finding trust through recognition of our similarities and negotiation of our differences.

painted steel wire on wood panel 17 x 12 x 1" My art is about closeness and the play of tensions that exist in our relationships. It has always centered the human figure, growing from single-figure studies to the portrayal of interacting groups. It directly reflects how deeply a desire for closeness has always existed in me. My parents suffered extreme early traumas, leaving them fearful of exploitation by strangers and uncomfortable in communities. As a result, I am extremely sensitive to the damage to people, communities, and nations when we are not able to become close and find trust through recognition of our similarities and negotiation of our differences.

clay 2 x 3 x 5" How can someone shoot a child? This is a young boy shielding a little girl in her classroom. I envision these two huddling next to a wall displaying preschool art, by an overturned desk, and away from a door. As much as he tries to protect her, he cannot. Wearing her favorite dress and he, his favorite hat and hoodie, their day began as any other. Unlike my other work, sculpting this was an emotional challenge that brought tears to my eyes until I had to stop. How do we make it stop?
