Since moving to Hawaii my work has focused on native flora and fauna. I enjoy the natural world and have always loved the magic and majesty of our Big Blue Planet.

Great Texas Women

I've started a series of prints about great Texas women.  A large part of the fun is learning/remembering what made these women so memorable and trying to capture that spirit in the print. 

Ann Richards, 45th Texas Guv
 
Cynthia Ann Parker
 


Barbara Jordan, Texas Giant
 
 
Janis Joplin just begged to be printed in different colors.

Mecox Gardens

Much of my unsold work is hung and available at Mecox Gardens, a lovely art, art objects, and design store in Dallas.  David Lee, store manager, is a great mentor and art appreciator.  It's a treat to visit the store and see the absolutely beautiful and unique things they have for sale.  Here's a new painting, Silent Swans, 42" x 48".

2013 Paintings on Paper

These paintings are more abstracted views of the figure.  I like to start on paper which has been textured with lithograph ink. Then I paint from a live model, working quickly with acrylic paint and pastel chalks to capture the mood.

Imaginary Realism  - As my paintings become more abstract, I think these words are a good way to describe my work.  I like to paint imaginary places, where the forms are recognizable but not literal.  And where color abounds.

2013 prints

These black and white prints are aluminum plate lithographs.  I love to work in this medium because of the unusual and beautiful reticulation which is only achievable in lithography with a little luck.  I refer to lithography as the magical medium, because the process is somewhat mysterious and prone to failure.
