This is a 32" square, mixed media piece that has been sold. Prints in all sizes are available as well as cards. The bouquet of flowers "floats" on the dark background and is enhanced by many textures which show up very well in the prints.

This is a dramatic full sheet pure watercolor in a very loose style. It is available and is framed to 32" X 40" in a red metal frame. It has a white mat and "floats" above an intense blue background. Price: $1250. Prints and cards are also available.

Origami Ohana is a painting I have done twice, once with a navy background and once with a red background. Both originals are sold but prints are available in many sizes. The painting is watercolor and collaged origami papers and rice paper blossoms. Prints and cards are both available.

One of my many wine-related paintings, Rose Window (sold!) was a half sheet watercolor (15" X 22") image framed to 22" X 28") done with many layers of glaces in a grid pattern background. On top of the grid, I painted and collaged grapes and wine bottles out of origami papers. The original was matted in an indigo mat and framed in gold metal. It was called Rose Window because Rose is a type of wine and because of the type of circular windows seen in many of the large European cathedrals.

This is a full sheet watercolor/collage which is still available. It is done with mixed media including watercolor crayons (see the grapes), pen, and collage pieces from glossy magazine pages (the reflections). It is a painting that was done soon after I took a John Salminen workshop and was working hard to provide an interesting white shape to help move your eye through the painting. Cards and prints in a variety of sizes are available.

This is a full sheet vertical painting started with acrylic prints made by pressing paint on with a piece of plexiglass. The prints looked like leaves so I developed leaves, fruits, and wine bottles around them. The painting was unified with checkerboard areas and white outlining done with gesso in a squeeze bottle. The original has been sold but prints and cards are available.

This painting is of clocks and sayings about time. It is the most neutral painting I've ever done in terms of color palette. The original was sold to a collector of clocks but prints are cards are available.

This painting, with it's graphic message, has sold more prints than any of my other paintings but I still own the original. It uses many mediums and techniques. The original is in a gorgeous wood frame and is priced at $1400. Prints in a variety of sizes and cards are also available.

This painting came about after a trip to Italy and Greece where roundabouts are everywhere. The analogy comparing roundabouts and life made for an interesting painting. The size of the original is 30" X 38" and it is available for $1150. Prints and cards are available, too.
