Painting entitled The Day Things Changed - a Poormanist abstraction

The Waiting Room

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

Companion Reproductions will soon be available.

This contemporary interior-scene painting captures a serene, sunlit bedroom filled with bold color, geometric balance, and mid-century modern charm. Light pours through a large window, casting dramatic angles of shadow across the room and highlighting the vivid shapes and textures within the space. A striking abstract painting on the wall echoes the room’s palette, creating a dialogue between geometry and architecture.

A tall patterned vase with lush leaves, a sculptural hanging lamp, and a neatly made bed with vibrant accent pillows all contribute to a sense of harmony and modern elegance. A small attentive Yorkie adds warmth and personality, inviting the viewer to linger in the quiet atmosphere. The artwork blends realism with stylized design, celebrating the beauty of everyday spaces and the calming presence of light, color, and order.

Where the Moment Met the Sea

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

Companion Reproductions will soon be available.

Where the Moment Met the Sea blends abstraction, landscape, and quiet narrative into a single, dreamlike scene. A solitary figure gazes at the threshold of an intricate geometric structure. The forms surrounding her—circles, angles, shifting planes of light and shadow—suggest inner worlds, crossroads, and unfolding possibilities.

The composition moves between warm, textured fields of color and cool architectural blues, creating a contrast between the grounded and the ethereal. The figure’s stillness becomes the focal point amid the dynamic shapes, as though she is suspended in a moment of clarity before stepping into the unknown. This painting invites viewers to contemplate transition, perspective, and the meeting point between the constructed and the natural, the internal and the infinite.

The Day Things Changed

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

Companion Reproductions will soon be available.

The Day Things Changed unfolds across a vast golden field whose textured surface is inspired in spirit and atmosphere by Van Gogh’s The Red Vineyard—a landscape alive with movement, warmth, and subtle emotional charge. Into this timeless setting, a lone rider advances on horses constructed from intricate gears and mechanical forms, creatures that seem assembled from memory, labor, and the unseen forces that propel life forward.

In the distance: a farmer gathering the harvest into a wagon and a solitary figure standing in the shimmering waterway, lost in reflection, ponders. These small, human gestures heighten the sense that a pivotal shift is underway—personal or universal—when the ordinary world begins to feel transformed.

Suspended Harvest

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

Companion Reproductions will soon be available.

Suspended Harvest envisions a landscape where growth lifts itself toward the sky, weightless and luminous. Tall, slender stems rise from a richly patterned terrain, each topped with an orb-like fruit that seems to hover rather than hang—a harvest literally suspended in air. These glowing forms sit between the real and the imagined, inviting the viewer to wonder whether they belong to a future ecology, a forgotten mythology, or a dream of abundance.

The land below unfolds in geometric planes of color—patchwork fields, angled shadows, and layered hills—creating a rhythmic contrast between the precision of design and the organic impulse of nature. The distant horizon dissolves into a textured dusk, as though the world is simultaneously expanding and dissolving into possibility.

Suspended Harvest is a meditation on renewal and surprise, celebrating the moment when the expected transforms into the extraordinary. It invites viewers to linger in a place where gravity loosens, imagination takes root, and the harvest drifts quietly between earth and sky.

They Stay Outside

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

Companion Reproductions will soon be available.

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

Reproductions available at Fine Art America

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)

Companion Reproductions will soon be available.

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

Reproduction available at Fine Art America

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)

Reproductions available at Fine Art America

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.

Passing Storm

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

Companion Reproductions will soon be available.

Passing Storm is a meditation on quiet resilience and the small, sacred shelters we build within our daily lives. Centered on a thriving houseplant—lush, layered, and full of subtle variation—the painting holds a gentle tension between interior stillness and the shifting world outside. The rain-streaked window, washed in moonlight, becomes both a barrier and a lens: a reminder that even in moments of turbulence, beauty persists in small, steady forms.

The patterned pot, vibrant and ornate, acts as an anchor for the composition. It symbolizes the human impulse to embellish, to protect, and to celebrate the things we nurture. Meanwhile, the silhouettes of birds resting on the exterior windowsill offer a quiet narrative of companionship and pause, as if the natural world has drawn close to share in the same moment of refuge.
