Push and pull, oil and mixed media on cradled panel.
The American bison has always fascinated me. Several years ago, I attended the annual buffalo roundup in South Dakota's Black Hills. Despite being one of the coldest days on record, witnessing 1,300 bison moving across the plain was incredible.

After deciding my original idea wasn't working, I began adding more of a winter looking sky, and some bokeh circles began appearing. I liked this new direction and ended up removing most of the smoke. The painting now is more hopeful and serves to remind that we are guided by the same stars.

Thought, oil on canvas, 30 x 24 inches.
In Norse mythology, Odin is accompanied by two ravens, Huginn and Muninn, (thought and memory). After traversing the nine realms, they to Odin each day to recount their observations. Here, I imagined a third companion, reason.

Paradigm shift, oil and acrylic on canvas, 36 x 36 inches. This fragmented goldfish explores visual reconstruction by transforming a simple portrait into a perception puzzle. Enlarging an ordinary goldfish challenges us to reassess what we often overlook.

An observable notion, acrylic on canvas, 36 x 36 inches.
I've been painting birds for a long time, usually life-size. Recently, I wanted to capture a new energy by making the birds much larger and creating tension between finished and unfinished elements through different marks and line work.

The theory of everything, oil on canvas, 42 x 52 inches.
The Brown and blue circles allude to quantum entanglement, symbolizing the interconnectedness of particles over distances. The title reflects the quest to unify general relativity and quantum mechanics.
