🌍 What happens when art becomes a way to confront the complicated world around us?

I create artworks exploring complex political and social themes through the conceptual realm of art. Some are fanciful, some are more literal, but each piece invites you to look a little closer...and perhaps think a little differently.

Art has always been a way for me to explore the world around me—to question, reflect, and sometimes simply see things a little differently.

Over the years, I've created work inspired by everything from the challenges and contradictions of humanity to nature, movement, color, and the unexpected moments that catch my attention.

Here's a small glimpse of some of my work. If you're interested in art, creativity, and the ideas behind the images, I'd love for you to follow me here on Facebook.

I'll be sharing new work, exhibitions, works in progress, and a little of what happens behind the scenes in my studio.
I hope you'll join me!

A career in art is made up of more than the paintings that end up on the wall.

It's also the exhibitions, awards, opportunities, collections, and, most importantly, the people you meet along the way.

My Curriculum Vitae offers a look back at that journey - from my earliest exhibitions in the 1980s to more recent shows across the country.

I've been fortunate to have my work exhibited in galleries, museums, and juried exhibitions throughout the United States, and I'm always excited to see where the next chapter will take me.

Oil, metallic gold leaf, canvas...and ideas.

Here's a look at six of my works exploring some very different subjects:

🎨 Help
🎨 Apokatastasis
🎨 A Sense of Foreboding
🎨 It's the species
🎨 We Worship The Worm
🎨 Abandon Binary Thinking

Each piece combines oil and metallic gold leaf on canvas to create layers of imagery, texture, and meaning.

Take a closer look - which piece speaks most to you?

From the challenges and hubris of humanity comes a wealth of subject matter."

Those stories, emotions, and experiences may all be different, but each piece is created with the hope of inspiring thought, conversation, and a deeper connection with the world around us.

I hope you enjoy this glimpse into a few of my works.

A closer look at a few of my mixed media pieces. 🎨

Each work is layered with texture, color, and imagination, creating a story that's uniquely its own.

My art pursuit has evolved from more traditional imagery to more expressive imagery that I feel reflects our time. I still enjoy more representative art but am content to leave it to other artists for now. Art has many functions. I have the luxury being true to my vision.

This oil on paper piece showcases some of the traditional works I've created in the past.

A few pieces of my art you may not have seen yet. I'd love to hear what these works evoke in you! 🎨⭐
