For the facts on climate change

Mixed-media paintings and photography

My recent work consists of mixed-media paintings about angels and climate change.

The series was partly inspired by the Renaissance narrative compositions of Hieronymus Bosch and Pieter Bruegel the Elder, but also owes much to a neo-Victorian steampunk sensibility that originated with the writing of Jules Verne, H.G. Wells and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

The “Angel” paintings were exhibited at Artexpo NY in February. A West Coast showing at a new LA gallery is tentatively in the works for Fall or early Winter.

I’m now posting photography in my Blog. The latest project happens to be about orchids––of all things.

The Tutorial section has been expanded recently with several video tutorials that were originally produced for my Digital Editing and Printing course at the Silvermine Guild Art Center.
