Newsprint, gold foil gilding paint, acrylic, pencil, pen. 8 × 10 inches. The Moon Saints series is an ongoing body of work I began in early 2025, currently consisting of 12 pieces and working toward a total of 24. Inspired by Orthodox iconography, the figures are regurgitated through my own imagination into martyrs and angels pulling one another up—some have lost their sight, some their hearing, and some their voices. The idea has always been for each piece to exist on its own while also playing a key role in something much larger. Eventually, all 24 will come together across an entire wall as one complete piece—each figure connected to, and dependent upon, the others.
NOT FOR SALE. Mixed media: porcelain clay, gold - silver - copper leaf foil, moss, acrylic paint, mirror, wood. 18.5 × 13 inches. Considering all creatures friends, I particularly gravitate toward snakes because they are so often immediately met with brutality from humans. In reality, they are far more terrified of us than we are of them, and more often than not, they’re simply trying to get away from us. I see them as gentle friends passing through our gardens and invaluable parts of a healthy ecosystem. I was drawn to the way porcelain clay dries with an almost skeletal quality, reminiscent of the delicate bones of a snake. That inspired me to sculpt this one and give it a lush moss garden of its own—a soft, safe place to rest.
NOT FOR SALE. Watercolor and pen. 9.5 × 4.5 inches. This is a portrait of Gale drawing a fish. I was still into the imagery began with "Sophia" and the unreal skin tone giving a sort of a magical feeling to the art. The "Green House" painting on the wall behind her is an existing painting and I did a pretty good job recreating her "Fish".
NOT FOR SALE. Watercolor and pen. 9.5 × 4.5 inches. "Sophia" started as an image I dreamed, a surreal beauty who was a light in the darkness. I based the image on my Gale, her clothes and features. I was reading a lot about Gnosticism at the time and named the piece after the Gnostic aeon Sofia who was the emanation of Wisdom.
NOT FOR SALE. Gray Scale pencils on mat board. 17 × 24 inches. A technique I became comfortable with through the years. Colored Pencil on mat board. This is from a photo of a blues musician I found in a magazine.
NOT FOR SALE. Oil on canvas. 24 × 32 inches. This was painted when I was in high school in my art class. It's my take on a classic Joshua Redman photo, who is an amazing jazz saxophonist.
