Sci-Fi and Fantasy

In these works, I wade into the complex and multi-faceted relationship between humanity and technology. I examine the intricate ways in which advanced technological innovations are transforming our existence, and to contemplate how we and our technology affect our planet. A portion of this work also raises questions about the potential pitfalls and consequences of integrating cutting-edge technology into the human body.

Photosynthetic Friends

I am captivated by the beauty of nature in all of its myriad forms, particularly plant life. My abstract paintings attempt to capture the essence of organic elements. Through these abstractions, I try to convey the intricate patterns, textures, and colors found in the natural world, inviting viewers to see familiar forms in a new light.

Untitled Mixed Media

These works were created for the "American Values - American Pride, an Election Day Primer" show at Art Under Ground Studio in November 2006.

My statement at the time read: "Through these works I am attempting to represent in a simple and iconic way the unforgivable abuses to our Constitution,
our precious Bill of Rights, and the lack of any basic human decency exhibited by our Government in recent years. Endless war, the rejection of science and reason, evangelism, environmental devastation, voter suppression, fear-mongering, destruction of the middle class, for profit prisons run by corporations, the list of outrages is nearly endless."

It is most unfortunate that 20 years later these things have gotten worse.
