Mixed Media Paintings

"The astounding variety and strange beauty found in the natural world humbles me and makes me realize that I am only part of this magnificent puzzle of life.  Many of my inspirations come from the beauty of this world and realizing its transience.  Some of my paintings have a dreamy/subconscious influence or vision involving the beauty not only of this world but also unseen beauty in this life and beyond.  Other paintings try to capture the joy of the present and celebrating our lives now.  Recently my paintings have involved more symbolism with collage motifs and designs of eastern influences encompassing ideas of change, guidance, wisdom we gain with each passing day."
