Selected Work
"SUNRISE" and "SUNSET"
Oil and acrylic on canvas
Each 36" x 36"
This diptych explores the creative process. At sunrise, all ideas are new and fresh, bubbling from a rested subconscious. At day's end, creativity crashes into a heap with, hopefully, one good idea to pursue.

"OW"
Acrylic and oil on canvas
66" x 42"

"GO OGLE"
Acrylic, oil and mixed media on canvas
60" x 46.5"
This painting, seen through the gaze of a gay male, explores men's narcissistic fascination with themselves as sex objects. The iPhone becomes both the window to their souls and the recorder of their egos. The viewer need only click to the Net to leer at pages of studs like this, each Adonis either secure in his exhibitionism or barely hiding his insecurities.

"HEXAGON IN A HEXAGON, AFTER KANDINSKY"
House paint on plywood with oil pastel details
73" x 73"
Created as a stage backdrop for the play "As Bees in Honey Drown", this painting took Kandinsky's painting "Circles in Circle" and reinterpreted it with a bee-hive hexagon motif that was omnipresent through the set design (which was also the brainchild of the artist).

"A BETTER TOMORROW"
Acrylic, oil and mixed media on canvas
48" x 35.5"
