"In the Depths"

"In the Depths" is a piece that was inspired by the ocean and by one of my favorite symbols, the nautilus shell (which is also the new logo for the collaborative private practice that I am developing with several colleagues). In my art I see the nautilus shell as being a symbol of the self that is submerged within the depths of a person's being only to be discovered through reflection, insight and personal development. In Hindu mythology, the nautilus shell is a symbol of creation with each of the chambers in the shell representing the stages that each individual passes through during life. The piece is 11 by 14 inches, acrylic gouache.

"Journey Into the Mind's Eye"

This piece is called "Journey Into the Mind's Eye" just completed today! It is 9 by 12 inches. The design in the center of the piece is based on a crop circle that was discovered in England in 2001, the "Milk Hill crop circle". Some believe that crop circles were created by aliens. I'm open to the idea, but I also think people have the skill and genius to bring to fruition these amazing designs. Some time in the very near future I am planning to have smaller pieces such as this photographed and made into art cards.
