An elaborate night lamp emanates yellow-gold light. The black rectangular forms provide stability, and the linear elements suggest a scaffolding representing the architecture of inner psychological spaces. The strict geometric forms are balanced by sweeping curves and triangular shapes in the white space to introduce a sense of dynamism, movement and flow. The loose brushwork in the background symbolizes the fluidity of thoughts, emotions and the unbounded nature of consciousness itself.
The warm yellow and pink hues radiate energy and luminosity, signifying vitality, passion and the animating life force within us. Yet these are intermixed with stark blacks and whites, reflecting the interplay of light/dark, conscious/unconscious aspects of the human mind.
The rectangular form with nested shapes in the center metaphorically depicts an inner sanctum or sacred space. The overall stacked construction hints at layers of meaning and levels of being to explore.

This abstract geometric composition is an active color study, a test in faux 3-D, a shape shaman, an Art Deco imbibed, towering soldier-like figure. It's about backlighting the mind and seeing what's there, connecting separations, radiating rays...

An abstract composition of geometric shapes and white diamonds in line work. Inspired by Moroccan and Berber motifs on woven rugs. The symbol of the rug can mean quieting, coming to pray, to sit with the self, to be still. Can you do it?
Matte metallic antique gold, hot coral, and yellow ochre radiate energy. The stripes leading out the top edge of the canvas indicate extension beyond the pictureplane.

This abstract, geometric composition resembles a windmill, with a side view and schematic lines as well. The mechanism of the spinning windmill that converts the energy of wind into rotational energy can be viewed as an offshoot of alchemy. Windmills today seem antiquated, just as the idea of alchemy. The title, "There is No Less Alchemy Now," is about realizing that magic happens in this time and is not some dreamy abstract relic of an idea from the past.
The bronze/antique gold shapes are a matte metallic.

The title "The Strange Pull" references the tendency to be drawn to certain ways of being and to love what we love, again and again--even if we don't quite know why. This idea is inspired by James Hillman’s book, The Soul’s Code: In Search of Character and Calling, in which he describes the "acorn theory" of the soul. This theory holds that within each one of us is essentially a unique blueprint for our being that is much the same as an acorn stores the explicit master plan for becoming an oak tree.
The suspended "seed" shape is split in black and white representing the unknown and known / confusion and clarity. It is surrounded by colored concentric “shells” that rotate in different directions bringing vibrancy and passion to the ripening potential.
The thick black vertical bars frame the central motif and evoke a sense of structure, order or protection. The parallel horizontal bars create a rhythmic white ladder symbolizing a vertical self-exploration--outward or inward. The thin black line that angles at the bottom of the picture plane introduces faux-3D and hints at another dimension.
The warm golden bar provides a grounding, stabilizing force - representing reason, self-awareness or conscious choice that allows us to maintain balance amid the inner forces and complexities of the psyche.

This painting eventually evolved to resemble part of the moon suspended in an arcing cosmos of stark black and white. The stack of "boxes" along the left side of the canvas signifies the compulsion to order things, to try and make sense of the abounding paradoxes in life. There's also a large, black tribal-like, shape that serves to root the work. The title "Holding Water" is about our intuition and the sensation of knowing without necessarily being able to explain. It's a peaceful groundless space buoyed by self-trust. On the right side of the canvas is a light pink feminine form resembling a cut out from an angled dress pattern.

This painting is an abstract rendition of a light bulb type object that doesn't make perfect sense. The connecting black curving lines create a circuitry that dips into the watery deep blues. It is a metaphor for the long awaited illumination that is the gift of loss.
