A grid of unique emoji’s that suggest the wide range of feelings that swirl through my brain every waking minute.

A painting a day(ish) The viewing 16x20 oil, sold The first gallery opening of this series was in Charleston SC. They loved the series so much they said “Do more!” I had an older painting of sheep in a field and quickly retrofitted the gallery with my paintings on the wall.

A painting a day(ish) Aloft 36x48 Oil, sold Circa 2016 Early in the series. The idea of a big beautiful bird flying through a contained crapulous space has always been compelling to me.

A painting a day(ish) Any monkey 36x48 Oil sold A few years back I was in full swing with my animals in man made spaces. I started to wonder what else I could do with the idea. I’d been painting and teaching abstract art for about 10 years, so I merged the two ideas. This was the very first one.

A painting a day The visitor 36x48 Oil on wood, sold One of the first in this series from 2015. Years ago I was looking for something different rather than do what I was seeing a lot of… this idea really spoke to me and spoke to issues I am concerned with.

It's International Holocaust Remembrance Day. I pulled this out of my illustration archive... a poster created for The Diary of Anne Frank, a play put on by the Children's Repertory Theater. It was a challenge to create a visual that told the story without showing the worst of it. 18x24 Pastel.

A painting a day Firefox 30x30 Oil on canvas, sold 2015, when this series started, inspired by an abandoned dry cleaner. Everything was just lying around like the people vaporized. This space inspired probably 20 paintings.
In an abandoned building we are drawn to a cluster of red fire extinguishers, but through the open doorway we see a couch covered with junk and a single sleeping fox. The painting is designed so that the fox is a surprise find.

A painting a day Aracari 24x24 Oil on wood, sold 8x8 study Gouache on paper I understand why people like to keep birds. They are beautiful, smart, devious… there’s something magical about a relationship with a wild thing. But it’s still very sad to me.

A painting a day Panic room 24x48 Oil on wood, sold Another personal piece created after a particularly rough spot in my life. Writing, poetry, music, craft and painting are all great places to unpack and store our feelings, good and bad. I never create based on what might sell, only story.

A painting a day Untitled 48x60 Oil on wood, sold A simple premise, the elephant in the room. I painted this with the idea of hiding it in plain sight. As a small jpg it’s pretty obvious, at size it usually took folks a minute to see it.

A painting a day Old friends 30x30 oil on canvas, sold I created this a few years back. No real idea in it, I just always wanted to paint a pig. I finished the pig looking at the floor and felt it needed something to look at so I dropped in a yellow rubber duck. It sold immediately.
A very large pig in an empty abandoned industrial space looks down at his new found friend a yellow toy rubber ducky. Highjinks surely ensued.
