“Horizons” is a series of paintings, rich with texture and emotion, intended to present a visual metaphor for the stages or phases in our lives that we find ourselves coming to or passing through.

We arrive at our destination only to find another new “horizon” waiting beyond.

These phases or chapters in life are universal: getting through a health challenge, entering a new relationship, a new job/career, a new home, or becoming a parent.

A trompe l’œil slit or tear is found on the painting’s surface, representing a particular concept that, for me, applies to the metaphor, but I prefer to let the audience decide what it means to them in the context of the work.

My working surfaces are canvas and cradled wood. The sizes of the work vary from 12x12 inches to 24x24 inches, but larger formats will be introduced as the series progresses.

The concept of [our] souls is a universal subject that provokes fascination and allure in every culture.

My interest in creating these images is an effort to portray the luminescence of the soul, through the creation of ethereal figures set in a dark space that represents the void in its absence once it leaves.

These images are available as limited edition, signed and numbered archival prints on either heavy fine art paper or aluminum with a satin finish.

With the “Tissage” series I’m interested in giving the viewer a look into the world of a woman who is very much in her own space. It’s simply about a moment between the future and the past.

Throughout much of my work and especially with this series, I’m interested in creating images photographically that don’t appear to be photos. There are times that I embrace the beauty the camera, as a tool, can deliver and there are times I prefer to push beyond the typical results that it has to offer.

These images are shot with a large burlap panel hung between the model and my camera to achieve a painterly, semi-impressionistic quality that renders the subject anonymous though still relatable. The fabric panel shifts the focus away from her identity, to her state of mind. It gives a sense that, rather than looking at the image, we’re looking into it.

As an artist, one of the most interesting aspects of working on this series was, while having the fabric barrier between the subject and myself (she couldn’t see me) she was allowed a sense of aloneness and the freedom to be herself, lending a certain honesty to the image in its representation of my intent.

Tissage is printed in signed and numbered limited editions of only ten prints per image with the exceptions of "Special Edition" (SE) images which may be fewer than ten and the “Find a Cure” prints, an edition of thirty.

Prints are archival giclées on 100% cotton rag stock.

In virtually all of the figurative work I do, my primary motivation is to portray women as strong, confident and inspiring.

Often, in discussing my work I’ve referred to the “fluidity of the female form” rivaling any other beauty found in nature.

This series of photo montages takes that phrase as its inspiration and allows me to render these figures as something mermaid-esque. They are themselves graceful, liquescent, flowing forms.

Once conceived, I set out to discover what result I would find by dropping India ink into a cylinder of spinning water. It was exactly what I’d hoped for and made the rendering of my initial concept profoundly simple.

Liquescence is printed in a signed and numbered limited edition of fifty prints per image.

Anais Nin once wrote about the differences between men and women, noting that when a woman leaves a room, her essence lingers, resonating in the air like a wisp of intrigue that remains in her recent absence.

With this series of photo montages, I’m depicting the figures as part of that lingering aura.

The smoke element of these images is a photographic image. The randomness and unpredictability made working with this subject fascinating and beguiling.

My instruction then, to the models I collaborated with, was to imagine themselves as a wisp of smoke. This gave a sense of continuity as I set out to fuse the two images together.

Essence is a signed and numbered limited edition series of archival prints on satin finished metal plates with 1/8” rounded corners and framed with a thin black channel frame.

Available in two sizes: 24” x 24” and 30” x 30”

The editions are limited to ten prints of each image.

The images display here are from small series or non-series based works.

The name of this series, “The Illusions of Psyche” came to me in a dream shortly after I began working on it.

In this series of digital mixed media images, the female figures represent the Greek Goddess Psyche.

Her form is born from an ink blot much like those used in the psychological testing Hermann Rorschach was famous for.

The subject’s form becomes a part of the abstract allowing the viewer to determine what they “see” when looking at the amalgamation.

Here the ”ink blots” were created using India ink and watercolor paper which was then digitally scanned and merged with the photographic image of the model

The Illusions of Psyche series is printed in a signed and numbered limited edition of 50 prints per image.

Prints are archival giclées on 100% cotton rag stock.

The “Femmes des Bois” (Women of the Woods) series of images depicts a dreamlike realm, capturing what appear to be forest nymphs, as if glimpsed fleetingly, much like a grazing deer.

The sometimes incongruous images build a fantastical world where these elusive figures seem to inhabit the woods.

The Femmes des Bois series is printed in a signed and numbered, limited edition of twenty prints per image.

Prints are archival giclées on 100% cotton rag stock.

Available in two sizes: 36” x 24” or 24” x 16”

Although the bulk of my work is photographic, my foundation as an artist began with drawing and painting. I often go back to my roots for a more tactile process to create work.

The Four paintings here of the hands are:

“CONTROL” (Diptych) 100” x 40”’ Acrylic on canvas.

“COMPASSION” 4’ x 8’ Acrylic on canvas.

“ACCEPTANCE” 4’ x 8’ Acrylic on canvas.

“LONGING” 2’ x 2’ Acrylic on canvas

The other two pieces are mixed media pieces. In each the nest and its contents are real. The rest of each piece is painted (including the snake).
