Creating a "dialogue" with non-toxic glue and latex paints has been primary for me.  This process has been a journey evolving organically since 1996.  I utilize glue as a vehicle that holds the color, letting in light through each layer, like an encaustic ethereal dream frozen in time.

A silhouetted figure behind layers of transparent colors evokes a sense of mist after a hard rain.  The figure is within a garden setting surrounded by ghost-like birds and insects.  This is from my series of paintings titled "Garden Friends."  The works might appear sentimental as a first impression.
However, to me they conjure up past memories and dreams.  Hopefully, for a few moments, the viewer will focus on nature's beauty and the fragility of life.

I also am reintroducing mixed media wood construction paintings from my earlier artistic career.   I like to describe them as furniture-like paintings with various influences ranging from nature, the raw expression of folk art as well as the admiration of South Florida furniture artist Richard Warholic.
