An abstract floral scene. Translucent foliage creates color blocks in the background while the foliage nearer to the viewer appears more opaque. Purple and pink flowers bloom amongst the branches.

A scene of two Sonoran desert cacti as a monsoon storm approaches. The cacti are in bloom. On the left is a young saguaro cactus and on the right is a prickly pear. Both are blooming. Lightning streaks across the sky as dark clouds are approaching. This painting is created using the Zorn palette.

“monsoon dreaming”, me, acrylic on paper (14 x 20.3 cm), 2025

A woodland scene in the early fall. Some of the leaves in the evening light look like flames bursting through the branches.

A geometric abstract of distant mountains with the afternoon sun in the sky. In the foreground are cacti rising from the desert floor. All of the shapes have copper highlights, because Arizona is often referred to as the copper state.

No deeper meaning than an appreciation of aesthetics. I used the zorn palette.

A skeleton representing one’s true, untamed, authentic self holding the mask that they wear when facing the world. The mask may make them appear “better” or “fit expectations”; but the act of doing so causes deep and lasting pain, as represented by the nails stabbing through the skull of the wearer.

“the pain of wearing masks”, me, acrylic on paper, 2025

When we wear masks to hide our untamed authentic selves, we often self-inflict internal anguish

Nothing more than exploring my craft and entering a flow state with my brushes and palette knives.
