"Supernova, A Tragedy of Cosmic Cadillacs", 24x36

A familiar story of young people with extraordinary talents who pursue their dreams. Smart, good looking, brash, hopeful and daring they rise above the surface of mediocrity and launch into the sratosphere of adoration. Each wrung taking them farther out of reach and out of touch. Until their dreams and lives of success slip into excess and they are devoured.Ending up the acrid aftertaste from a belch of self indulgence.

"The Orchard Keeper" 24x36", mixed media




A piece that was influenced while teaching the Italian Renaissance in Art Survey II. It is my own contemplation of systems which appear to have a divine nature, such as phi, and artistic communication as a means of prayer or worship. I often find religion, art and science share similiar qualities and can be quite synonymus.
