Galleries

Group Iconographies® For a detailed description and discussion of this collection, please see 'About My Work' in the Main Menu.

Story Paintings For a detailed description and discussion of this collection, please see 'About My Work' in the Main Menu.

Blanks A collection of paintings, which, in varying ways, reflect my interest in conveying the subject's mood or personality through means other than facial expression.
