 | | Instead of acrylic paint, this gallery consists of works done using colored inks.

 | | In this series I tried to create as many different ways to use color with boxes and circles as possible. Each painting is the same basic theme (a box grid containing circles), but each painting is different in that the configuration of the grid varies. |
 | | Just another step in my experimentation with things that are a little different.....who said that "all" art had to be created with paint? |
 | | This collection is one of smaller canvas' and lower price points.

NEW SERIES
I've just finished a new series of pieces that have stretched my abilities. With these new creations I've taken what I call "tiles" and stacked them, scattered them and tried to create a sense of being "broken". I've also completed two different pieces (one in the Paper Series and one in the Black and White Series.
Home...Is this really where the heart is?
My home, my existance, my world. It's all changing and I'm not sure I like the direction it's going.
A NEW PIECE
Just finished another new piece for my foil collection. I entitled it THE RUNNER and it's easy to see in person, but like most of my works, it's hard to capture in a photograph. Stare at it long enough and I think the vision of the person will come through.
