ALL THAT GLITTERS - Official Entry for the 2017 Colors of Pinellas Employee Art Exhibition (the 11th Annual Show) in Clearwater, Florida.  This art piece was constructed in two parts: the Interior Cube and the Exterior Frame Cube.  Each individual Cube is covered in several grades of Glitter Paper to create a series of textures as light is reflected from the glittered surfaces.  The Butterflies are suspended over the Interior Cube surface to create the floating effect.  In the correct lighting environment or in a Gallery setting, this artwork is outstanding in its shimmering glory.

I did this for the 1997 Pennsylvania Maple Festival Art Show, an annual event held in Meyersdale, PA.
Inspiration: If aliens from other worlds come to earth, who's to say that they come for egocentric humanity? Why not Maple trees? Why not Maple sugar? A sweet thought!

This icon shows the persecution of 4 LGBT Russians in Saint Petersburg. A pride march was held and the police brutalized the peaceful demonstrators. The four people embracing are taken directly from a photograph from the event. They stand in the midst of tear gas used to break up the demonstration. Barbed wire surrounds them with the text of the Russian Anti-LGBT “propaganda” law at the bottom in red.
To the left stand 3 figures representing the police (полиция) and Maxim Martsinkevich a.k.a. “Restrukt/Реструкт” from the group Occupy Pedophilia, skinhead vigilantes who film themselves torturing unsuspecting gay men.
To the right stands American anti-gay activist Scott Lively, holding his book The Pink Swastika, which claims to prove that militant homosexuals caused the Holocaust and the Nazi regime. Lively seeks to publish it in Russian for an eager public. His scroll holds his direct quotes: “The battle to protect Russia from homosexualization [sic] has only just begun… Stand against this scourge.” He wears the garb of a priest - he is a Christian Pastor at home. His robes allude to the American Flag.

This is one of the most visually direct drawings in the “Living Machine” series.  As with other works in this series, this drawing explores themes of mimetic evolution, Lamarckian evolution and self-construction.  A large organic spheroid creature (a “Plantimal”) mimics the form of a smaller more machine-like creature which it is carrying.  The background is taken largely from a view of low mountains north of Interstate 8 near the Arizona-California border.

"End of Autumn 15" is part of a series of pastel drawings depicting Swift Creek in Red River Gorge. The series focus is the journey of nature and life, joining earth and water.

Mollie Tibbetts was reported missing, and all of America hoped, waited and prayed that she would be found, safe and sound, while the local police and the FBI searched Brooklyn, Iowa, interviewed neighbors and left no stone unturned. This abstract painting was done in alcohol inks on Terra Skin stone paper, which was then mounted on gallery wrapped canvas. Gold foil was used to shine as her life shone, all too briefly. The palette of purple and blue express the grief and deep regret that we feel for Mollie, for her family, fiance, friends and neighbors. It is a sorrow we feel for all missing persons and their families, whose absence is a loss to us all. Hanging hardware not included.

I Am That I am features a man holding up his left hand in a fashion similar to that of Christ's "Peace unto you" gesture. his other hand is open to recieve friendship, love, redemption, forgivness, spirituality etc. His halo represents the idea that God lives within ALL of us. we are all equal, we are all Gods, we are all sacred, even this black gay man in the painting.
