Half Hearted Confusion – oil paint on wood, 18”W x 36”H, 2007

This confused person has a wiggly body, visibly wobbly skeleton, and shrunken sad face. The disturbed land shifts between sea and sky. A sunken half-hearted body springs the word “Confusion”. Live life with a full heart, not just a clear mind, and things make more sense.

Day of Birth Ayla 5 – acrylic paint, ink, pencil and marker on paper, 7”W x 10”H, 2011

This gentle portrait, memorializes toddler Ayla Rose. The artist’s daughter’s spirit perseveres with her coy clever and friendly manner. She is bathed in purplish pink tones, her favorite colors. Five stars, representing each year of her life with a degenerative condition, spin off her long pony tail, watching over her.

Green Song – ink and acrylic paint, pencil and marker on paper, 7”W x 10”H, 2011

This is an emissary of the mythological green force Growth. Fingering 3 empty drink glasses symbolizes draining Growth force as their skull desiccates. Emissaries take human form to promote life through birth, puberty and aging. This is a character in my upcoming graphic novel / artist book “Green Song.”

Heart Tied | First Steps – oil paint on wood, 2’W x 4’H, 2009

A bird demon shrieks at a blood moon, tying its heartstrings. Negotiating love, we can be contained or social. The left foot takes a tentative step. The artist uses a hybrid bird person to explore heavy emotional concepts in a subtle yet graphic manner. Noah raised birds as a child.
