TIPTOEING THROUGH PARIS
PUSHING THE HIGH NOTE
PICNIC ON THE PRINT
As a nearsighted kid hiding behind thick glasses, I spent hundreds of hours dreaming of faraway places, fingers glued to my paintbrush and mind focused on the fascinating things people said and did. I angled around the rigors of geometry while finding humorous contexts for the various shapes such as the isosceles triangle which I used to depict the Isosceles Bartender in my AMUSINGS gallery. Double entendre shares equal space on my palette, alongside burnished ochres and cadmium reds.
When the shutterbug within created the series titled ILLUMINATIONS, it required thousands of hours, a macro lens, a light box, and a gazillion shards and bits of stained glass . . . arranged, photographed, and afterwards . . . dismantled! It was worth every tedious moment, every nick and scratch, to see the thrilling collaborations of celluloid and light. I hope you enjoy.
AMUSINGS . . . is a gathering place for figments of my imagination.
NUANCES . . . is a closer look at the little things in life.
PERSPECTIVES . . . is a quiet collection of through-the-lens vignettes.
LA PETITE ROUSSE . . . is a whimsical bijou series and a vicarious expression of yours truly.
RESEMBLANCE . . . is a salute to familiar and iconic faces.
ILLUMINATIONS . . . is a playful series of abstracts created from shards of stained glass.
ROARING TWENTIES . . . is a tip-of-the-hat to the free-spirited women of the 1920s.
