| This piece was created to donate
for auction to support
Artvocacy, a program for local artists in the Dallas area to
help raise money for the
International Rescue Committee (IRC). The inspiration for
this piece came from a photograph of African refugees, walking
through a parched land during a dust storm. Visual references
to ethnicity, location and gender etc. were removed to make the
piece more representative of the plight of all refugees in the
world. |

This piece, with it's vivid
colors and impressionistic rendering on a flat background represents
emotional ties to the French heritage of the artist's wife as well
as the representation of his partner's business logo. Wrap
that up in the deep hues of the giant blue iris - a favorite flower
- and what issues forth is a fresh new look at a classic symbol.

This small piece represents a
much bigger idea... the imaginary place to where this artist
retreats when he needs to calm his spirit and quiet his mind.
He tells us that this image is most often envisioned at times of
prayer or meditation, and in his words, it is the "most peaceful,
safe and spiritual place ever... a place where God lives, and
communes". Originally planned for a much larger canvas - with
this smaller sketch, we catch a glimpse into that place...

Sometimes a window on the world
is our only perspective. Our lives framed and filtered through
glass and grime. In this piece, the woman's face displays
something akin to despair, hopelessness, or perhaps even pain.
For the artist, she represents a melancholy apathy, a broken spirit,
and serves to remind us to make the most of each day, each minute -
lest we end up at that window.

At some
point in your life you may have been accused of "having your cake
and eating it too", told to you as a means of shaming you for
wanting or receiving more than others felt you were entitled.
In this piece, the artist says to the envious crowd, and to everyone
else - "Let's Eat Cake!" After all - what good is having a
cake you can't eat?

The title for this piece came
from a tear in the canvas that was incorporated into the painting.
Originally this was to be framed with stuffing behind and then
pulled through the tear, but upon completion of the painting - the
"scar" seemed more appropriate in it's subtlety. Like in life,
we all have wounds and scars that are not evident to the casual
observer. Only those who care to get to know us on a deeper
level can see them.

Through is a part of a "surfer" series done back in the early 80's.
The fluid motion of wind and water, along with the poetic force of
the surfer's skills have often been visually captivating to many.
This is one of several pieces that will be dusted off and
brought out of the attic over time.

This
preview of the unfinished three-dimensional multi-media collage
melds hardware & soft-core in a whimsical yet provocative display of
the ways in which mankind has been affected or "touched" by
technology. The artist has combined hardware components, paint
and children's dolls in this thought provoking arrangement of
commercialism & hare-wired fantasy.

This preview of the unfinished
painting represents the memories and nightmares of a childhood where
fear of the dark was a daily dread. We've all been told that
there is no boogeyman, that ghosts and werewolves are not real and
that there are no monsters under the bed... but then again, some of
us know better...
