NEW WORK
The Rising, 2025
Ink on paper
30"w x 34"h x 1.75"d
$1,200.00
The strong, upward trajectory of the central figure in "The Rising" implies what so much of Western culture preaches: hard work and individual effort leads to success. But this figure is no lone wolf. Not only is the form encircled by supporting extensions, which imply connections to the past, but at the core of the drawing is a form that itself appears ready to be born. Is this form life-giving or destructive? The one tiny green seedling in the upper left-hand corner seems to offer some hope. (Framed/Ready to Hang).
Entering The Flow, 2025
Ink on paper
43"w x 30"h x 1.75"d
$3,200.00
For something new in art (and in life) to emerge, something else must be lost. There is no finding a new way without losing track of the old. "Entering The Flow" began with the central figure, and it took a while for me to draw the surrounding pattern. I resisted losing the form that I'd become enamored with over the course of its drawing. By clinging, I'd halted creation. Finally, letting go, I completed the pattern and the piece itself. Now, "Entering The Flow" is leading the way. (Framed/Ready to hang).
Ceding The Self, II, 2025
Acrylic paint, ink, wild berries, collage material
26"w x 40"h x 1.5"d
$2,200.00
A play on the "circle of life," this complex collage, using drawn elements as well as smashed wild berries, is a nod to the way creative ideas can explode into being and then take on a life of their own. Just as in the real world, different forms here play prominent or recessive roles. The circular nature of the collage also hints at the possibility that this is one form caught at different stages of its evolution. (Framed/Ready to hang).
Preparing For The Fall, 2025
Acrylic paint, ink, wood panel
24 x 24 x 1.75"
$1,200.00
Most drawings employ straight lines, but I've developed an intriguing style, building nearly all my drawings on curves. This imbues the work with an organic, feminine quality. "Preparing For The Fall," is a zaftig goddess figure that appears to hold the roiling universe at her center as well as a connection to the natural world through her leaf-like base. But the unusual headgear--is it a deep-sea swimming cap or a football helmet?--hints at a knowing feminine archetype, the Sage, who is aware and prepared for whatever is to come.
Tending The Liminal Space, 2025
30"w x 34"h x 1.75"d
Acrylic paint and ink on paper
$1,800.00
While much is made of the identity enhancing fame some artists pursue, the creative act is largely about relinquishing the ego in order to discover something truer, deeper, usually called the "Self." There is an open space to cross between ego and self, and, as a farmer watches over his growing fields, an artist must carefully tend whatever arises in this new land as an artwork (and the artist) takes shape. (Framed/Ready to Hang).
