GATEWAYS: Forms of Human Transformation
Within the GATEWAYS collection, sculptural forms capture the human condition as beautiful moments of transformation and transcendence. Each sculpture depicts a stage in human life. Together, this five-sculpture narrative sequence depicts the five acts of human life as one evolves from birth, to growth, to learning, to actualizing, and ultimately to transcending. These artistic forms ask: How can physical form embody the wonders of human existence to then nurture and inspire the human spirit? Through these sculptures, pivotal moments in the journey of life become GATEWAYS to actualizing the highest and most beautiful potential of humanity. Each sculpture celebrates a "step" in the journey of a well-lived and awakening life — creating a collection of artifacts that inspire reflection, celebration, and hope during one's lifelong evolution.
YOUtopia: Architecture of Human Potentiality
Each painting in the “YOUtopia Series” imagines an allegory of place that awakens profound consciousness. At the physical level, the paintings invite viewers into imagined improbable places that stir the soul with beauty, light, and ethereal materiality of form. At the metaphysical level, each place “paints” within one’s soul to awaken the infinite potentiality of humanity toward creating a better, more utopian world. This ultimately inspires the next evolution of the highest expression of you. This is the ideal self as seen through the allegory of architecture. This is YOUtopia.
EcoScrit: The Language of Nature
A hieroglyph is a Greek word that means "sacred carvings". The paintings in this ECOSCRIT series build upon this meaning, as through my artistic process each painting brings forth sacred markings (carved onto paper) that recode the deep inner workings of nature's beauty. In this way, each painting translates nature's most profound and inner poetic beauty as a new hieroglyphic language that awakens and nurtures human enlightenment, by speaking directly to the soul. This new hieroglyphic soul-language that deciphers nature's deep poetic beauty is called ECOSCRIT.
Living Constructs: The Architecture of Awakening (New Series)
Each painting in the LIVING CONSTRUCTS collection depicts architecture as an allegory of lessons for life. These oil on paper paintings use form, materiality, and light to celebrate life's pivotal moments of awakening as conveyed through architectural construct. Thus, architecture becomes more than a place to live. Through each artwork, architecture becomes a vehicle for thriving.
Worlds Within: Drawing Hidden Realms (New Series)
The WORLDS WITHIN collection of ink with graphite drawings depicts environments as "vessels" of self-actualization — where each imagined world is a drawing of hidden realities that nurtures wonder toward the pursuit and realization of one's most ideal self. Each place becomes a catalyst that drives one toward highest levels of human potential, all while evoking a sense of wonder through curiosity and awe that helps each person to keep moving forward through life.
