Wild Boy
​
My "wild boy" has all but vanished in my adult years. When I was young, I was fearless, believing that anything was possible, and it was. Adulthood, with its multitude of responsibilities, somehow has the ability to squeeze the wild boy (or girl) out of us. I believe now that it is my job to rediscover my wildness in all its forms.

In this study, I'm exploring "negative" images and how inverting an image digitally changes the impact of that image in the space.

In Your Hands (2018), 11" x 17"
Prismacolor Premier colored pencil on copy paper
When we live in a place of natural beauty long enough, there is a sense that nature is tenderly holding us, protecting us, perhaps even watching over us. This has been true for my time in the Colorado Rockies. Mt. Sopris seemed to hold our small town of Carbondale in its cupped hands as if to tenderly keep us and the lands on which we lived safe.
In this piece entitled "Map of the Human Heart 1", I explore topography as a way to understand the landscape of the human heart. As in the natural world, perhaps the human heart's terrain is shaped through time by the forces of love, loss and upheaval that play upon it.

One of the predominant and recurring themes in my work is the presence of the human eye. In this piece, I'm exploring the idea of otherworldly presence, spatial dimensions and cosmic overlays.
