New Work
Synergy
Synergy 18" x 18"
Synergy is when two things come together to create something bigger
than the sum of the parts. My definition is a little different and I
come to it from a cognitive perspective. This painting began as a
background that I call the accidental masterpiece. I apply extra paint,
clean off my stencils and it just evolves over time. My unconscious is
playing with the concepts as I begin to focus on the piece and develop
the composition. As I finish the painting, the parts come together
easily and fluidly. The synergy of both the left and right hemispheres
at play.

My website has a feature where you can get a preview of what the art
may look like in a setting. I work with collectors to find the perfect
size and even colors and concepts for their commissions. To determine a
good size for placement use painter's tape by making an outline of the
size you like. This will give you a great visual for size and placement.

A Look Into the Future

On the Edge 14" x 11" framed
You know how we usually have a word for a year? I have declared that
the word for 2020 is Unprecedented, so I am going to go with that when
it comes to my annual end of year BOGO Event. This year would have been
my 9th year holding a BOGOFree blog event. In July I held an auction
for my 20th Anniversary Market show and it went very well. I have
decided to turn the BOGO event into 4 different auctions. The first
auction will begin on Thanksgiving. I will have one week for small
work, one for mid-size, another for large work and a fourth for
unframed work on paper. I will post more details in next months
newsletter but you can now gaze into the future. The piece above will
be in the mid-size auction week. There will be an auction price and a
buy now price. Incredible values for all. I am also going to donate a
percentage of sales to our local food bank. I did this on a previous
auction and they were so pleased to receive the help. Gratitude goes
full circle.

Synesthesia and Inspiration
Strength of the Soul3
Strength of the Soul 16" diameter
I was recently asked by my friend in Australia, Marco Verdugo, to
create a piece based on one of the songs in his upcoming album. As soon
as it is released I will post a link to it. He asked me to create this
because of my association of color and shapes to music. When I create a
piece based on music I first immerse myself in the music. It is like a
meditation. I absorb the sounds into my senses and they translate as
colors and shapes. As I created this piece I added the wings rising
from the swirling colors. This piece is made on panel and cast acrylic.
It is similar to my sculptures but it is made to hang on the wall.
