Mercury

A series of 15 paintings for the popular Dallas restaurant.

Corners Series
Inspired by some family health problems these paintings examine the surprises that may await around the corner.

Pathways Series

 

Storms Series
Inspired by the 2005 hurricane season, these images are highly textured and neutral colors. New images added May 2006.

Grid Series
Geometric patterns broken by random paint splashes and realistic painted elements.

Waverly

 

The Knots Series
Inspired by the construction of a major freeway interchange in Dallas, TX

The Divisions Series
Highly textured, these paintings are based on the peeling plaster that is so common in Europe. I saw a lot of this on my trip to Bulgaria.

 

The Nuvo Series
This series is based on symbols, designs, and colors of the retro 1950's.

The Freehand Series

A series based on a favorite shape (freehand circle) and the bold colors of red, black and white.

The Shadow series

These monotone abstracts have a geometric composition. They are based on urban landscapes, a dark corner, or a shadowy point of view.

 

 The Colorblock series

These color-field abstracts developed from the Glorieta series. If the Glorietas are landscapes, then these colorblocks are an exploration of the underbelly of a leaf, a streambed, or a flower petal.

The Fishing Series
Inspired by a trip to the Texas State Fair. These are whimsical fun pieces.

 

 Genuity Series

A new series created for the Genuity Corporation, Dallas, TX

 

 The Red Circles Series
Loosely based on geology and layers of earth, sediment and water, these images explore the over and under of things and how the presence of beings float on top.

 

The Glorieta Series
Named for the area of New Mexico that inspired these paintings, the palette is hot and reminiscent of the saturated colors of the Southwest.

The Carnival Series
Another series of lighthearted colorful works, highly textured acrylic on paper, 22 x 30

 

ABSTRACT ART EXPLAINED: Non-objective abstract art is unknowable. This is why we are tempted to look for objects in paintings where there aren't any. For this reason it is more of a challenge to create an abstract painting that has meaning. All the elements of good representational art should be present, namely color, form, composition, perspective, etc. It can be compared to abstract music (music where a melody cannot be discerned). Not identifying a melody in music is like not seeing any recognizable objects in non-objective art. (Hal Fielding)
