Abstract Series: Fiesta

Thick painterly stripes, bright colors, and a swaggering pose combine to make this a festive-feeling work of art.

"A fiesta is a party, a carnival, a holiday, a celebration. I celebrate the body each time I draw a figure. I celebrate our freedom of expression through our bodies, and through line and color.

(My body is not a temple, it's a playhouse)."

This work of art was created on an iPad Pro with an Apple Pencil and drawn from a live model. That means it's a "digital original". First I created a "canvas" with my abstract painting, then, working from a live model, I added the life drawing - a quick gesture pose.

Burma Series: Breaking Walls/Breaking Patterns (metal print)

The Burma Series: Breaking Walls/Breaking Patterns shines a light on the plight of the Rohingya women of Burma, bringing attention to a group of people who are being systematically persecuted. People, perceptions, and this pattern of female persecution and punishment must change. How can each of us ensure women's safety and freedom of speech and religion?

Inside the Walls

"By combining a photo of an ancient temple in Burma with a life drawing, I'm melding time, place, and media. With irony, I'm placing a nude female in a sacred Buddhist context. She is escaping, contorting, and climbing out - emerging from a traditional society and suggesting we consider the impact of religious persecution on the plight of the Rohingya people in Burma."

This work of art was created on an iPad Pro with an Apple Pencil and drawn from a live model. That means it's a "digital original". First I created a "canvas" with my photo of an ancient Burmese temple wall, then I added the life drawing and painting.

Botanical Series: Of the Forest

The subject matter here is about our relationship to nature and tress.

"Of the Forest is about my desire for people to interact and appreciate nature and feel a part of it. In my neighborhood, which is called a cloud forest (Forest Knolls), neighbors are clear-cutting their hillsides. I have tried to get through to them about how important it is to allow our landscape to thrive and not see nature as danger. I see our trees as our sustenance, but what one person sees as a treasure, another sees as a nuisance."
