  • A Start…..

    This is the very beginning of a piece that will be titled “Pocket Paradise”. This is the 5x7n version, but I plan to do a full size one as well. Not only does it fit the theme of paradise, it also is a very personal image. This is the garden of the house in which…

  • Haikus: Urban Life

    These are Haikus from a colleague of mine. I just thought I’d share them here, I think they’re quite indicative of a student’s life in New York. Good going, Daphne!

In reality, the foreground is actually a cemetery.…

  • No Place Like Home…..

    I’ve started work on the large “Freedom Tower”, but so far, don’t really have enough to show a work in progress. So here’s something I did a little earlier.  It’s one of the Paradise series.  It’s an interior, for I know some for some people, paradise is their own home.  That is, especially if it…
