Wisdom Flowing is the second drawing I sketched on plywood.  I am facinated by this material because of its ability to absorb the pigments of the color pencils.  Layering colors seems to take on a richer saturation.  Application is never hindered    and I don&#8217;t have to worry about crinkling the edges, it&#8217;s plenty durable.

The concept for the drawing is simplistic &#8211; The wisdom/knowledge of the past is what sustains a community.  It is our elders who uphold the cornerstone of identity.  Lastly,&#8221;Those who do not remember the [...]]]></description>

I started this drawing as a demonstration piece for a client that I work with.  The main purpose was to show how fine art materials (color pencils) can be used with scrap materials to form an interesting composition.

I actually feel I gained more interest in using a non-traditional material than the client.  Loaves &#38; Fishes contain a classical context of biblical symbols with a tweaking of this artist&#8217;s quirky interpretation.

The Sweetness of Smells was created as a mock-up for a book illustration. The picture references the idea of the movement of delicate tiny particles as well as the intense saturation of esters such as purfumes and essential oils.

A child, your child, committing violence is heartbreaking.  It is considered controversial and at times thought to be impossible by loved ones, but children are capable of devastating acts.

This painting is part of a series of recent art changes in my artistic growth.  I usually prefer working with oil paints, but have discovered an interest in mixed media collage.

In this art piece I used a mixture of magazine images, Prisma markers, gel mediums and acrylic paints.
The primary imagery emerges from a nautilus [...]]]></description>

Angel of Mercy expresses the paradox of Woman. [...]]]></description>

Dimensions: 80cm x 30cm
Materials: Mixed Fabrics, Beads, Sculpty Clay
