Painting
The Vanishing Wild.
Somos Arthouse LES PopUp
May-June 2024
This series of paintings honor the magnificent wild horses of the American West. After watching Ashley Avis’s heartbreaking documentary Wild Beauty: Mustang Spirit of the West, which exposes the barbaric and senseless round-up of these horses, I was compelled to make these pieces.
Through art making and continued advocacy, I intend to raise awareness of the desperate plight of the American wild horses of the West in Utah, California, Colorado, Wyoming, Nevada, Montana, Idaho, and Oregon.

The RAIN series.
Rain enlivens the senses, evokes memory, and speaks to the birth-life-death-rebirth cycle.
This latest series, titled RAIN, expresses the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of rain.
I did not plan this series of works, but rather as I began to paint and draw, these ideas emerged from the images.
