Reorganizing and rearranging a face to resemble something recognizable....stripped background with nude floating in his head, as if in a thought bubble...squared...

Dandelions in different stages...I really enjoy dandelions from many perspectives, they are considered weeds, but smell beautiful...they cannot be controlled, will not stay in one place, behave or do what they are supposed to do...runs parallel to human patterns, which I find amusing!

Smile

Here is a black and white drawing with markers and found objects of color...getting out some frustration! I went back into it with liquid paper to redefine some white areas and covered some areas with tape to resist the mark making...this piece is a more drawing than collage...

Skeletal remains

Exploring associations between black, white, red, skeletons and letters...variations on a theme, repetitions with changes in scale and context...

Amsterdam Reliquaries

A drawing from one of my favorite Van Gogh pieces, only at the museum in Amsterdam and some play on a series of reliquaries that I worked on many moons ago….the image in the lower right is of a gold reliquary I saw in an Amsterdam museum...

Amsterdam Sketches

These artifacts are from a trip to Amsterdam to visit my cousins and enjoy the sights...There are pictures of my cousins when they were little and living in the states...the trip was a bridge between the past and the future...all the fond memories placed in a new context...in a strange land...repeating forms in different ways, photograph, ink stamps, map, memory...lists....

Studios Magazine

Nice little piece on my studio...it has been revealed before, my studio comes in all forms and has been placed prominently in a one-person exhibition. The significance is its place in the creative process and links nicely to the end "products" artists make...thank you Studios Magazine!
