Eye Wish is my first journey with sacred geometry. The 36″x48″ canvas was divided down the center with a line, which was then divided at the golden mean, or pi ratio. A circle was drawn around this point, that blossomed in a flower of life pattern, consisting of 19 circles. A large circle was drawn around this flower, and was met with a smaller circle below it, the size of the inner seven circles, known as the seed of life. I drew a...
Yin and Yang is a hybrid of oil painting and digital photoshop work. Light and dark dance and entwine with one another, giving full expression to each other against the contrast of it’s opposite. it is at night when you can see the brilliance of the stars.

I began Aswan years ago while living in Texas. Still in its impressionistic conceptual phase, It spent some years untouched before being revisited. There were a pair of swans at the Isis Oasis Sanctuary, north of the bay area in California. I always loved visiting the swans.

He is emanating a nine sided mandala. The number nine is representative of perfection and completion as the final single digit. My skin is covered...
One Heart’s Journey is a depiction of the transformational journey through destruction into healing and unification.

Five deities, Quan Yin, Kali Ma, Yeshua Jesus Christ, Hathor and Buddha surround the fire as guides for the spirit through this dying process, holding compassion and healing as the much needed ego breakdown occurs.

Milk and Honey was the first painting I completed. I finished it in 2003. Eight months of full time labor on this piece, working on the floor of my bedroom in Austin, TX, resulted in an image of a woman in sweet ecstasy with herself. This painting was inspired by a photograph that was taken of me in the Red Sea, Eilat, Israel. I had put my long dread locks in the water and flung my head back, spraying an arching crown of suspended liquid. The...
