Painting - Holding On

This painting explores our attempts to grasp the power of nature in our hands and somehow control it. A futile task.

Dimensions: 16" X 20"

Painting - Ghost Trees

This surreal painting was painted awhile back in Boulder. I love loosing myself into it.

Dimensions: 3X2 feet

Painting - Fiona


This is an unusual painting for me. I rarely paint portraits and I have only used oil paint a handful of times. I was pleased with the results. I am interested in working more with people and figures in my paintings. This was the first attempt. It was not a self portrait, it was done after a woman in a magazine. I will say that during painting it I had the thought of Fiona Apple in my head, so that might have come out a bit! That is why I call her Fiona.

Dimensions: 8"X10"

Painting - Heart Strings

This was my second attempt at oil. I wanted to look at the idea of heart strings. Those things which seem to pull at the strings of our hearts seem so mysterious to me sometimes. I have moments when I can almost feel my heart. Moments of joy and sadness which affect me on such a deep level.

Dimensions: 8" X 10"
