Shell Fragment

Shell fragment, one of five shell paintings from a series I did in 1996. I liked the colors found in nature, the peach and pink and grays. Very pretty and canvas made these paintings soft in texture.

Two Drawings

These drawings were done from bits of shell I found on the beach, the obvious one being a mussel, the other a fragment. I've done numerous drawings of the spirals and curls of shells. They are lovely and the shapes intriguing. This is graphite on paper.

Messenger of God

A plywood altar, painted with Daniel Smith's gold liquid acrylic, focuses on a Da Vinci drawing printed on a postcard purchased at the Codex show at SAM (Seattle Art Museum). The altar is complete with ginkgo leaves, ceramic shards from Italy, bottle caps, keys, stones, shells, feathers, and more. It is hinged so it stands, rather than hangs.
