Acrylic on Canvas, 24" x 36", 2026, NFS (legacy collection)

This painting captures a quiet moment of sunlight moving through a modern bedroom, reducing the space to its essential geometry. The room is a study in light, color, and architectural stillness. The warm yellow wall catches the diagonal shadow from the window, creating the central visual event of the composition. The bed, with its deep blue headboard, white pillows, and red blanket, anchors the foreground as a calm, structured form. A single ceramic vase with tall green leaves introduces a vertical counterpoint to the horizontal planes. The result is a serene, intentional interior where light becomes the true subject — a distilled atmosphere of order, warmth, and quiet presence.

Alignment

Acrylic on Canvas, 18" x 24", 2025, NFS (legacy collection)

Alignment brings together geometric abstraction, constructed landscape, and human presence in a single, carefully orchestrated composition. A solitary figure stands at the base of a stairway, poised between the grounded world behind them and a rising architecture of intersecting planes, circles, and directional vectors. The surrounding geometry — rendered in blues, oranges, creams, and grays — creates a sense of shifting structure and cognitive mapping, as if the space is both forming and dissolving around the figure.

Beyond the abstract architecture, a distant landscape of red, yellow, and green fields meets a calm horizon and blue sky, anchoring the composition in a remembered or imagined place. The tension between the open landscape and the complex interior geometry becomes the central drama of the painting. The figure’s stillness acts as a stabilizing force, a point of orientation within a world of competing alignments.

The result is a work that feels both psychological and architectural — a meditation on choice, direction, and the quiet moment before stepping into the unknown.

Arrival

Acylic on Canvas, 18" x 24", 2025, NFS (legacy collection)

Arrival places a solitary rider on a mechanical horse at the edge of a glowing agricultural landscape inspired by Van Gogh’s The Red Vineyard. The warm, rhythmic field behind the figure carries the chromatic heat and directional movement of Van Gogh’s harvest world, but translated into your own structural language — calmer, more architectural, and more deliberate. A pale sun hangs over the horizon, while a river bends quietly through the land and a cart of harvested grain anchors the scene in the logic of labor and season.

In the foreground, the rider sits atop a machine‑creature built from engineered plates and gears, a hybrid form that embodies intention, will, and forward motion. The dark uniform, marked with symbolic emblems, and the radiating flag introduce a ceremonial gravity. The tension between the organic, Van Gogh‑inflected landscape and the engineered precision of the mechanical horse creates the painting’s emotional charge: a moment of emergence that feels both mythic and inevitable.

Arrival becomes a meditation on entry — the instant when a figure steps into a world that is already alive with color, structure, and history.

Sentinels

Acrylic on Canvas, 18" x 24", 2025, NFS (legacy collection)

Sentinels presents a surreal landscape of rolling, multicolored hills interrupted by tall, slender stems topped with glowing orange orbs. Each orb sits like a watchful presence, balanced by a pair of green leaves that read as both botanical and symbolic. The forms rise in quiet formation, spaced with architectural precision, giving the painting its sense of vigilance and calm authority.

The hills — rendered in layered bands of blue, green, red, yellow, and brown — create a rhythmic terrain that feels both abstract and familiar, like a memory of land distilled into pure color and curve. As the background shifts into deeper tones, the orbs stand out even more clearly, becoming the silent guardians of the scene.

The result is a landscape that feels alive with intention. The “sentinels” neither move nor speak; they simply hold their positions, marking the terrain with presence, order, and quiet watchfulness.

They Stay Outside

Acrylic on Canvas, 18" x 24", 2025, NFS (legacy collection)

They Stay Outside brings together the familiar charm of a potted flower arrangement with a world of stylized pattern, symbolism, and playful distortion. Three radiant blooms rise from a lush cluster of deep green leaves, each petal rendered with meticulous detail and a sense of luminous energy. They appear both botanical and otherworldly, holding a quiet vibrancy that seems to pulse above the surface of the canvas. Their colors defy taxonomy. Their nature too uncertain to allow inside.

The setting—a checkered floor, a richly ornamented ceramic pot, and a backdrop divided into contrasting tones—creates a stage where patterns interact as characters in their own right. Shadows fall sharply across the tiles, bending and elongating as though the light itself is curious about the flowers it illuminates.

Blending folk-inspired detail, surreal geometry, and the warmth of handcrafted design, They Stay Outside transforms a simple still life into a meditation on presence, separation, and the unseen forces that shape a quiet moment.

Tree of Life -- Midnight

Acrylic on Canvas, 24" x 30", 2021, Private Collection

Tree of Life – Midnight is a luminous, mosaic-inspired painting celebrating renewal, interconnectedness, and cosmic harmony. The composition centers on a radiant white Tree of Life whose branches expand into a field of deep blues, teals, and midnight tones. Circular celestial forms—resembling moons, planets, or symbolic energy spheres—float around the crown of the tree, creating a sense of movement and spiritual resonance.

The trunk is richly textured with warm earth browns, while the lower field is composed of organically shaped stones in greens, ambers, and soft neutrals, suggesting groundedness and the quiet pulse of nature. The painting’s pointillist-mosaic aesthetic gives it a handcrafted, meditative quality, with each element built from dozens of small, bead-like shapes.

This work evokes themes of life cycles, inner light, growth, seasons, and the mystical connection between earth and sky. It serves equally well as a contemplative fine-art piece or a vibrant focal point in any space.

Somewhere Sonoran

Acrylic on Canvas, 18" x 24", 2025, NFS (legacy collection)

Somewhere Sonoran is a celebration of the desert’s quiet magnificence—an imagined landscape where color, pattern, and light take on a life beyond realism. Centered around a towering saguaro, the painting unfolds like a sun-washed tapestry, each cactus standing as both sentinel and storyteller of the Southwest.

The radiating halo of golden stippled light suggests a sun that is more than a celestial body—it becomes a spiritual presence, warming and illuminating the entire scene. Surrounding tiles of color echo mosaic work, hinting at the region’s cultural textures and transforming the sky into an intricate canopy. The desert floor bends into flowing ribbons of ochre, clay, violet, and turquoise, mapping emotional terrain as much as physical geography.

Somewhere Sonoran invites viewers into a desert that feels both familiar and dream-shaped—a place where heat glitters, shadows stretch with intention, and the land holds a pulse all its own.

Nocturnal Watch

Pen and Ink, 14" x 14", 2005, Private Collection

Nocturnal Watch is a detailed black-and-white pen & ink illustration transforms an owl into a dazzling tapestry of patterns, mandalas, and rhythmic linework. Every part of the bird’s form is filled with intricate designs—geometric shapes, fluid organic motifs, and fields of stippling that give the composition a hypnotic sense of texture and movement. The owl’s large, luminous eyes draw the viewer in, while the surrounding circular patterns echo lunar forms, adding a touch of mysticism.

The artwork blends zentangle-like detail with contemporary abstract design, creating a piece that feels both meditative and visually electric. It’s the kind of drawing that rewards slow looking; the more you study it, the more hidden shapes and symbolic elements reveal themselves.

Harvest Time

Acrylic on Canvas, 16" x 24", 1992, NFS (legacy collection)

Harvest Time is a vibrant, intricately detailed abstract painting that centers around a branching tree bursting with color, pattern, and symbolic energy. The trunk and limbs shift between organic forms and geometric textures, creating a sense of movement and transformation. Surrounding the tree is a dynamic collage of shapes, floating spheres, celestial motifs, and rhythmic linework that blend the natural world with imagination and dreamlike abstraction.

The background shifts between warm golds and cool blues, giving the composition a sense of seasonal change—like autumn shifting into winter—while the patterned elements evoke themes of growth, renewal, and the cycles of nature. Each section of the painting invites viewers to discover new details, from playful silhouettes to cosmic symbols woven into the branches.

Bold, colorful, and richly layered, this artwork brings together fantasy, nature, and contemporary abstract design. It makes a striking centerpiece for anyone who enjoys imaginative, symbolic, or visually complex art.

Palladeum Plant

Acrylic on Canvas, 18' x 24", 2025, NFS (legacy collection)

Palladeum Plant places a single potted plant before an arched window, rendered with the quiet precision and architectural clarity that define your work. The window’s soft blue‑gray panes create a serene, almost sacred backdrop, turning the plant into a central, structural presence. Light, form, and proportion work together to create a still life that feels architectural rather than botanical — a meditation on structure, calm, and the quiet authority of a single form.
