The “Music & Lyrics” sculptures were created while thinking about a recent visit to the Amon Carter Museum in Fort Worth, TX. This museum is local and refreshingly free to the public. I visit often to view new installations and special exhibitions. […]
The “Prospect” sculptures incorporate elements of paintings I completed between 2006 and 2007. Those same paintings were included in the book “The Spirit of New Orleans.” As I have been planning a visit to New Orleans for “Prospect 5” in the fall of 2021 these were on my mind and naturally became part of the […]
Reversal of Fortune is an image based on scans of the Beautiful Loser series (discarded lottery tickets painted with alcohol ink.) The collage as it was originally painted went through digital rendering so that the resulting image reflects upon itself, turns inward, makes peace and moves through itself until it is outside itself.

In March of 2019 I painted the first of my large pareidolic paintings, Heart Bomb. My thought process at that time included musings on quantum field theory, the nature of eternity, healing, mortality, and not least, God. My wife was about to undergo surgery to remove cancer from her breasts and lymph nodes. As often […]
This work stems from my practice of using everything to its fullest potential. I had began a reverse painting on this piece of poly-carbonate some time back, but always felt it was missing something. Likewise, I had some design elements that I had used in making some greeting cards for friends and family, but always […]
This work stems from my practice of using everything to its fullest potential. I had some design elements that I had used in making some greeting cards for friends and family, but always thought more could be done with them. The same was true for some hand drawn elements I had created. After attending […]
This work stems from my practice of using everything to its fullest potential. I have recently been utilizing old, worn down, or dried out markers to make alcohol inks. These I have used to make brush drawings as well as paintings. I have also employed them to paint on junk mail and junk envelopes. However, […]
“We came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.” There is so much that is outside of my abilities to control. In fact, considering that I am unable to control other people, places and things, or at best have limited ability to effect control over them, I am left […]
Our thoughts travel faster than light. Our imagination visits far away galaxies and returns that same afternoon. It’s like having the whole of the cosmos in our backyard; not to mention that new neighborhood nebula that just opened up. A New Neighborhood Nebula is an original mixed media painting on paper. (Acrylics, Acrylic Resin, and Alcohol […]
Considering how we, the human race, continually transport ourselves between dreams and various realities it seems inevitable that some of the doors between here and there will stay open. Depending on your thought life that can be a good thing, or not so much. This painting was originally executed by painting with alcohol inks, […]
It seems to me that the human condition is such that our species always suffers tragedy both self-inflicted and imposed upon by other men and nature. Some believe, in fact, that it is in our nature to suffer. I believe that it is in our nature to endure. Some claim that our lack of relationship […]
With all the excitement, and sometimes fear, about the rise of Artificial Intelligence I have found myself wondering about how, or if, these machines will ever comprehend comprehend art, beauty or more interestingly, our emotions? In these early stages the short answer is “they will not.” As more sophisticated programs evolve, perhaps they will develop […]

As I cropped and sized Bruised Twilight I was reminded of the Frank Stella retrospective hosted at the Fort Worth Modern last year (2016). I visited a total of three times while the work was here, and each time I was awed and inspired by the breadth and the beauty of the work, as well […]
