Connections Collection
Featured Work
Water
30″ x 44″
“Connections” is an exploration of the broad meanings of community, diversity, acceptance, and relationships. Unencumbered by narrower definitions of community, this work expresses my lifelong philosophy that the true global community encompasses the Earth, its life sustaining elements of Air, Water, and all its citizens.
Air
30″ x 44″
These three pieces are all reflective of the fundamental components of connections. They are developed with graphite, conté, pastel, gouache, charcoal, watercolour pencil, India ink and acrylic on Rives BFK paper, attached to wood panel.
Earth
30″ x 44″
Always intrigued by the enigma of the human condition, I am drawn into exploring the myriads of wonderful possibilities inherent in these two words. Unpredictable and ever changing, humanity provides the visual and thematic thread that connects my creative process and work.

Diversity 6
I have been working on Diversity 6 this week. I’ve made some changes, added some details, and deepened some colours.
Diversity 6 Detail
These are details from Diversity 6, which is almost complete.
Diversity 6 Close Up
The Mexican Melipona Bee, drawn in the circle is essential to the pollination of the vanilla bean plant. It is a stingless bee and very endangered.
Diversity
This endangered creature is called an okapi or forest giraffe. I use the dark underpainting to depict much of its body. Much of the form is implied by the addition of the stripes and white markings just a few other colours.
