Before there was Light,

there was the Dark...

History, Experiments and Questions

The challenge of utilizing a dark background and building forward

has been the thread running through all these works.

Textures, concepts and colors are offered with

a level of contrast to engage the viewer.

[Above] _' Free-Spirit ‘ [20”x30”]

A study on the uncontrollable urge to move beyond the relative comfort of a support structure, and the unique form that urge produces.

[This Page] _ ‘ Laff This ’ [11”x14”]

‘ The Power of Language/Lies Within Our Grasp ’

[36”x80”] _Braille is a beautifully succinct tactile graphic system that conveys ideas through the use of touch.

Should we aspire to the same truth and beauty when conversing by Social Media?

‘ A Still Life ’

[48”x72”] _The Renaissance Masters rendered compositions consisting of objects from specific periods in history.

These arrangements afford us a view into their world and their culture. What can be said about our culture?

‘ Old Glory ’

[30”x40”] _ The notion of Ole’ Glory : of the familiar, of pride and of respect, coexisting with a heritage that is continuously supplanted by changing values.

‘ Forgotten ’

[18”x24”] _ What if computers could suppress disturbing memories?

‘ Free-Agent ‘

[20”x30”] _Both Natural and Man-made forces are at work above us and all around us.

Do we know them all?
