This work was originally set in San Ysidro Church, an adobe church, in Corrales, NM. I was inspired by the church decorating periods throughout history and the work of Tiepolo in particular, who I researched in travels through Italy. I decorated the entire church as I reinterpreted the Madonna & Child imagery. My ever present symbol, the chicken, acts as messenger, harbinger, visitor. Chickens assist in escorting the Madonna to heaven in my Assumption based on a vision I had in NM. I had been unable to show this body of work since that installation for lack of a proper space. When the West Gallery opened, I had the space to resurrect a good portion it and give a sense of the whole. The work reflects ideas surrounding Christmas so a show this time of year created nice symmetry. I include two shots from the original installation in these examples.

This is digital street photography. It has exhibited with the Los Angeles Center for Digital Art and the Mobile Photography Awards.

This work appeared on the LED Billboard in Baltimore. Chickens are not only beautiful but symbolic.

This is work I did in conjunction with the Sketchbook Project and the Brooklyn Art Library. I did 3 sketchbooks between 2011 and 2012 which traveled with the Sketchbook Project and were exhibited nationally and internationally. I was inspired by Easter, as some of the sketches were done in the spring, the circus and walks with my dog.

This hand drawn animated piece combines my interest in painting and drawing with film. In it, a chicken encounters a Chinese Dragon. I was inspired by my experience with a Chinese New Year celebration. These are 10 stills from that piece in 2008.
