Acrylic on Canvas
I was remembering Lake Tahoe and all the serenity it offers. The butterfly appears in many of my works, but this time, huge hands come up out of the lake with butterflies tied to the fingers with string. Maybe I was dealing with someone in my life with control issues Ha ha No need to explain
Acrylic on Paper
I love elephants. But never realistic ones.
This one I love because of the simple lines and stark b/w..

Acrylic on Canvas
This is a true diversion from my sometimes rather compulsive desire to outline or highlight things. I love the softness of it and the lighting enhances its blur quality.

Mixed Media/Collage on Paper
Pure fun! I found a bunch of flower petals and just created a fantastical bouquet. Originally the centers were Mentos! Now they are glass and the whole thing fairly jumps out at you. Should be framed in a shadow box!

Just a fun painting involving underwater cities and evil scuba divers, waiting for his lady to return from a cruise. Nonsense
yet again.

'Parade of the Butterflies'
16" X 20"
Acrylic on Canvas
When I moved into a beautiful building devoted to artists, in 2010, this was the very first painting I did to celebrate a new phase in my life. Butterflies always celebrate new life, and believe me the changes to happen (for good) were unreal.
'Smelly Feet #2'
12" X 18"
Acrylic on Paper
Shoes are fun to paint, and when you add bizarre items or creatures, like crying lions, a whole new element is introduced. Remember, taking yourself or your works too seriously leads to no humor/fun in your works and your life. So I try to follow my innate silliness gene when possible.

Acrylic on Paper
I like the vaguely threatening figure approaching in the background, while the guy seems right at home - billowing smoke & reading, waiting for his flight. Airport travel is exceedingly hideous any way you look at it and I'm just poking fun here. All of us would like to do this I know.

Having been a model in SF, NY etc I was aiming to get across the weirdness of that former life - the odd poses and places and outfits you are forced to wear for a shoot. Hopefully this comes across in this bizarre exaggerated pose and background. I've seen much worse!!
9' X 12'
Acrylic/mixed media/collage on canvas board
Whimsical hand with shaky background. Hand is covered in glued on jewels and paper. I just love the freedom and fun attributed to the horrid result of binge drinking or severe alcoholism, of which I know a fair bit about.
"Fairyland Unicorn" 16" X 11.5" Acrylic on Paper 201l. I had a 'time out' period of my life in 2010 - 2011...I did not paint for a year and 6 months. This was the first painting I did when it started work again... the result of the profound peace I felt by dropping out and gathering all my far flung selves into one whole person again.
