Homage to Dada series.
This series of ten prints is a homage to the Dadaists. The Dadaists used scissors and glue rather than paint brushes and paints to express their views of modern life through images presented by the media. A variation on the collage technique, photomontage utilized actual or reproductions of real photographs printed in the popular press. In Cologne, Max Ernst used images from World War I to illustrate messages of the destruction of war. I find my image using Goggle much like the early Dadaist used media images. I print the black and white images on 11”X17” presentation paper and use a Sharpie to enhance the image with personal symbolism. The image guides my imagination and provides a starting point for the spontaneous drawing.
The Giclée prints are 9”X12”, printed on heavy archival paper. Only fifty of each signed and numbered print will be available. Individual prints are 25.00 each and a completed set of ten is 200.00. Shipping costs will be added to the price. Please email your interest.

The garden.
Garden of serenity. Sharpie pen drawing. 8"X10" 2014
"What I dream of is an art of balance, of purity and serenity devoid of troubling or depressing subject matter - a soothing, calming influence on the mind, rather like a good armchair which provides relaxation from physical fatigue."
Henri Matisse

Viral exploration.
Viral exploration. Ink drawing 14"X17".
An artistic mind can find beauty anywhere - but what about the world's most deadly viruses and bacteria? They can spark interesting cognitive dissonance in viewers as they are both attractive and repulsive.
