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.
 
SOLD
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?  [detail]
 
SOLD
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.

Pushin' 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. [detail]

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. [detail 1]  [detail 2]
 
UNFINISHED
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...
