LUCY,  INBETWEEN


The lightening strikes

Boom!

Thunder Howls

The bolt clicks

Could it 

Be?

I AM FREE?

Just like that?

Or is 

IT

A trap?


24” x 24” x 3”

Mixed Media with Bolts and Wire


Usually I let the title of a work be enough and allow the viewer’s own imagination let loose from there. Wire can represent timelines with screws and bolts representing pinpoints in a moment or a whole lifetime.   Or, alternate dime

TIMELINES FROMTHE OTHERSIDE


24" x 32" x 4"

Mixed Media with Screws & Wire

 

You were there

Up in the corner, near the ceiling

Although your voice, spoken quietly, filled 

The Studio

You told me

You would wait for me, wait

I said, it might be long, you said

Time is Different Here

The Time is Coming Near

Was that truly you?

Or my head playing wishful games?

The gossamer is thin, I can almost see through

I just pray

ADMIDST CHAOS

36" x 48"

LA VIDA I


24" x 30"

Mixed Media with collage elements


Almost home.  The windy, dark ride seems long on a dark night.  My 2yr old son feels the same way.  Then around the big bend the sight that always stirs my imagination.  The La Vida Motel.  Haunted as they come I suspect.  The abandoned motel brings up Psycho and other horror movies.  Who will be lurking there in the shadows tonight?  I step on th

LA VIDA II


36" X 48"

Mixed Media with Collage Elements


I decided to take a photo of the dilapidated motel with all its secrets.  I was thinking "you never know what goes on behind closed doors!"  Everyone has their skeletons!  Those dark windows churned many uncomfortable visions and inspired La Vida II.  I wanted it a bit brighter to symbolize hope and a brighter future!

 

You were there

You can't catch  me I'm  The Brilliant FireworksMan!  The energy!  The brilliance!  The Power!   Releasing all that red rage through painting and viewing it later  left a sense of tranquil calm.  It has a purging effect on the viewer..  The bright colors are symbolic of peace, joy, excitement, hope.  Although I have to say,  I don't wish anyone to b

RISE

She represents strength through hardship, perseverance through adversity, confidence over pain. She is symbolic for womens freedom.
