These digital portraits are drawn using a simple computer drawing application, my index finger and mouse pad.
The shown images display a window installation titled "A Lambent Lament" I created from paper, wire, and wood. This piece is on permanent display at the Elverhoj Museum of History and Art.
The five photographs demonstrate the panels as viewed from the interior of the museum backlit by the sun, the full scale of the work, and how it was constructed.
I collaborate with the Santa Ynez Valley High School Theater Group as an artist offering mask design and ideas.
Here, I created stylized buffalo masks for the play "Indians".
The play is an allegory of the "Wild West", complete with massacre, myth, and remorse.
In the Flow of Dreams
The parts of life we cannot see, yet feel, intrigue me. I dream vividly and diligently tend to my work each night as I close my eyes behind perlite sky.
Symbols from the subconscious, dream's moving pictures and epiphanies enrich the creative process as a fertile, wet compost is nutrient for the earth.
I am looking and will share what I find. So far, I have found that there are as many pieces to the mind as there are stones I have thrown into the ocean, walked on, and buried. Remaining gentle with the myriad of colorful characters that make up the imagination--no matter how vulgar, distracted, passionate, or tame--keeps me resting easy knowing that I am in the flow of dreams.
Time to paint.
