Tree Paintings
 Tree Paintings
I think trees are fully conscious beings.  They are extremely generous. They offer food and shelter to many species.  They hold the soil, block the wind, shade from the sun and much more.
 
Bird Paintings
 Bird Paintings
Birds and trees are fully connected in my art and I see them as different aspects of the energies of the forests.  My birds are almost always seen as extensions of the woods where they nest.
 
Human Nature
 Human Nature
We are completely interconnected with nature. My interest in showing humans as fully connected nature beings is explored in my paintings with this theme.

In 1998 I went into the Amazon Rain Forest of Ecuador with Dream Change Coalition. Another journey took me there in 2001. The experiences profoundly affected my work to this day. Here are a few of my paintings from that series.

These are hand carved one of a kind ceramic wall pieces built from slabs. The lines of the designs are relief carvings into the clay.

Light Beings
 Light Beings
This is just the beginning of a new series of oil paintings.  I will be adding to this folio as I get my photos of the new work. I'm thinking this is an exploration into new territory for me. I've lived in the Northwest for almost seven years, these paintings seem to reflect a new level of integration of my experience here.
