Dimensions: 18 x 17 x 1 Media: Mixed Artist Statement : There is nothing quite as identifiable as the human face. From Nefertiti to Mona Lisa to Warhol’s Marilyn – we enjoy looking at the images of our own species more than anything. All artists depict the faces around them, in portraits or in abstraction. It all means something and we will spend endless minutes trying to decide what, exactly, is going on here… And I am no different.
In my work I try to create a kind of enhanced reality using photographs along with paint, metallic glazes, crayon, pastel and a variety of less conventional media to bring my vision forward in my artwork. There is no use of digital art effects or scanning, no reproductions of finished pieces, no multiple editions. Each completed piece is unique and hand-made, a one of a kind finished multimedia artwork.
Dimensions: 19.5 x 14 x 1.15 Media: Mixed media / collage (pigment archival print on premium fine art paper, professionally mounted and framed with hanging wire system) Artist Statement : Interoculaire examines the persistent weight of the male gaze. Through the juxtaposition of a lone female figure against a clinical grid of watching eyes inspired by vintage optometry posters, I visualize how surveillance and objectification become embedded within cultural systems. The figure's turned back suggests both vulnerability and defiance—refusing to return the gaze while remaining subject to it. In inhabiting the liminal spaces between visibility and concealment, my practice aims to translate complex power dynamics into visual language that questions how unseen forces shape lived experiences, particularly for marginalized bodies. By fragmenting the form with disembodied eyes, I consider how digital infrastructures intensify traditional forms of objectification while distributing new forms of harm. This work invites viewers to recognize their own participation in systems of looking, challenging them to question dominant technological narratives and consider alternative futures.
Dimensions: 12 x 16 x 1.5 Media: Acrylic on canvas Artist Statement : This piece was created with the hope that it would generate an emotional response from the viewer no matter what that emotion is. It was not directed in any particular direction. For me, it represents our freedom and brings me to tears when I think about those that sacrificed their lives so that we can live free. The upper left was created from a piece of raw canvas stitched onto the piece.
Dimensions: 12 x 12 x 2 Media: Mixed Media
Acrylic Sheets, paper, stainless steel. Artist Statement : Accidents Never Happen riffs on the Blondie song’s sharp lyricism—“I never lied, and you never cried”— with a visual language of control and contrast. A field of red-hot squares pulses like a warning, breaking through the grid’s calm white structure. It’s the beat that slips, the emotion that escapes the system. The squares mark time, tension, restraint—false signals in a machine that doesn’t run. Warmth is boxed in, bordered by cold white and transparent clear clarity. The illusion of order cracks under layered transparencies. Like the song, the piece insists: accidents never happen— but what if the rupture was always part of the design?
Dimensions: 14 x 10 x 10 Media: Fired clay Artist Statement : This is an early work of mine exploring shape refinement, curve cohesiveness and texture using naturally dug clay.
Dimensions: 14 x 11 x 1.5 Media: Textured oil painting on canvas Artist Statement : The artwork represents my memory of Venice, Italy - a city that is both eccentric and captivating, radiating a tenacious and enduring beauty.

Dimensions: 13 x 13 x 1.25 Media: Materials: Acrylic paint, modeling paste, and brushwork on stretched canvas. High gloss varnish to finish and framed in a natural wood floater frame
This artwork was created using layers of acrylic paint applied with both palette knives and brushes to create an impasto effect. Modeling paste was used to build texture and dimension, allowing the wave forms and atmospheric elements to physically rise from the canvas, evoking the sense of turbulent waters and dramatic skies. Artist Statement : This painting explores the emotional push and pull of life’s turbulent moments—how we’re often swept up, held in place, or carried along by forces beyond our control. Thick textures made with modeling paste and layered acrylics build the churning sea, while soft, luminous skies float above—offering contrast, clarity, and calm.
In Where the Current Kept Us, I wanted to capture that in-between space: not quite sinking, not yet safe. Just held. The place where beauty and chaos coexist. Where light still breaks through, even when the water is wild beneath you.
Dimensions: 13 x 11 Media: Mixed media: Art marker over gelatin plate monoprint Artist Statement : This artwork is my first foray into printmaking and was made at a time when all the distractions of spring make it difficult to attend to anything but art.

Dimensions: 12 x 20 Media: Photography Artist Statement : Since transitioning into artistic photography from news and editorial a year or two ago, bstracts made in the nation's National Parks have been a main focus. On a recent field course in Colorado's Great Sand Dunes National Park, I did indeed find the light and features lent themselves to abstract works. But not in this case. The reddish natural light of the setting sun on the dunes, some of which rise more than 700 feet high, and particularly the mountains- Sangre de Christos in Spanish, Blood of Christ in English - alone made for many spectacular landscapes, including this one.
Dimensions: 8.5 x 11 Media: Mixed Media Artist Statement : In my artwork "Better Dayz" I'm Capturing the form of the clouds. The color purple represents faith and optimism. Looking forward to better and greater days to come. When capturing this photo, I wanted to reflect on the darkest moments I went through in my life and still do at times. I wanted this photo to be a great light and example of you can get though it, and there's a light at the end of the tunnel. I pray this photo would be an inspirational to other people as it is for me.
Dimensions: 8 x 12 x 1 Media: Photography Artist Statement : I photographed this image in Idaho on the Snake River. As I was processing the image, the lyrics from "America the Beautiful" and the line " for purple mountain majesties" came to mind. I decided to manipulate the color of the mountains to make them purple. I think the mountains do look majestic in purple and I love this image. I've been a photographer for over 38 years and I have a pretty traditional style. Over the years, I have become more progressive in my style and I now often think of what I do as "making pictures" instead of just "taking pictures." This new thinking allows me to manipulate my images if it produces a more dramatic image than what I saw or what came out of the camera.
