Pop

This painting/collage was inspired by an afternoon I spent with the famous Pop Artist Jeff Coons. The fates had us snowboarding together in the South American Andes Mountains.

This experience was a true highlight in my life.

This painting was done with ink, encaustic wax, overlayed on Japanese newspaper, on a wooden panel.

Ralph's Dump Truck

I drove by this old pastured truck for nearly ten years before I came to realize that I had a endearing connection to it.

Bodisaltva

This painting was inspired by a Steely Dan song.

Aura

Have you ever known attraction so deep that you can see colors?

I have, and this oil painting was inspired by this experience.

The genre was inspired by Gustav Klimt.

Wastewax Study for Bronze Prep

Cherry Zen Garden

I carved this piece from Black Cherry Wood and burned-in kanji symbolism. I sourced white and purple sands from Nauset Beach on Cape Cod.

Shaman Totem

I carved this piece in Basswood and used a mohair wool/silk blended yarn for hair.

Interesting side note: I severed a tendon in my left hand while carving this piece. I required surgery and PT before being able to complete it.

Carnality

I coupled a found coyote skull with a head I sculpted using Celluclay and sea shells on a bronze armature.

This piece symbolizes the the natural fusion between our deeply personal fears, desires, and spiritually, all too often repressed.

Ode to Camille Claudel

This piece was inspired by Auguste Rodin's work which I have studied endlessly.

Marble Torso

This torso was carved in white Danby Marble. This is a tribute to the breast cancer survivors I have been inspired by.
