View From The Asylum


This piece was inspired by the view from my studio on an icy February morning. I couldn't mix the colors fast enough once I saw the ice hanging from the branches of the peach tree outside my window.

One Long Ago Day


This piece was inspired by a very bad day,
a long time ago.
If you are a victim of rape, abuse, violence, or rage,
please don't stay silent.
Please get help.
You are worth it.

Sandia 1



For Dale.

This was my first landscape. Inspired by a print I purchased on a trip to Santa Fe.

Thunder clouds building over the Sandia mountains.

Flamingo In My Front Yard

Flamingo In My Front Yard was inspired by the actual bird, not the plastic variety. Even growing up in Florida I never had the honor of having this amazing creature light in my front yard, but I've always been facinated by their range of colors.

Koi Pond

Koi

Inspiring creatures
Shimmering and sparkling
just under the surface of the water...

Supernatural saturation of color
Dancing in the sunlight...

Indefatigable



The spark that never gives up
when life is
the darkest ngiht,
the blackest dread,
the coldest frost.
The oppressive blight holds no power
over the shining golden wings of
indefatigable hope.

Depths


Swirling
Whirling
Sinking
The colors
float and fade
with the changes
in depth.
