Current Series

These pieces are from my two recent series: The newest pieces, in this gallery, are just the beginning of my 'Textures in Storytelling' saga... while the other series (before it) explores the 'what if'. What if birds were self-aware, experiencing the same emotions as we do and wrestle with the same types of philosophical questions such as who they are and why do they exist. The newest series is an echo of my travel experiences. While the other series reflect my love of nature, of observing birds & my daydreams.

Activist Art

My Art is Activism. It is my voice. It is the voice for peace & security that we seek. It calls out, to all, to become the instruments of change in our own communities... as well as our world. This Gallery is comprised of issues & subjects that are near & dear to my heart.

Dream Series

Dreams have always invaded my sleep. Some repeat night after night (until I realized that the only way to make them stop was by recreating them in my art.)
The images in this gallery were created from my dreams. I took the chaos of the dream-scape & simplified it into a single image.

Abstracts

A little more exploring from my Right-Brain. I am primarily a Representational Artist....but... sometimes it's nice to let the right side of the brain take control.

Words

My artwork is symbolic and often narrative. This series incorporates the written word into the visual narration.

Whimsy

There are times when I formulate an image the moment my brush or pen or pencil touch the surface. There is no preconception. This gallery name is a bit of a misnomer as the images are not always 'whimsical'. But all these pieces were created on a whim!
