Clouds bounced along the horizon and distant waves sprinkled salt in the breeze. The gallery sighed as it watched the day’s joys take place outside while […]

click all photos to enlarge The sun glares at me as I creep the smoldering streets of Los Angeles. Cars honk and tempers flare as Santa Monica Blvd. whines with the weight of mid day traffic. Above the dusty clunkers and buffed convertibles, I stare at a long row of red stop lights. Green teases […]
An artistic culture is a breeding ground for creativity. It allows the growth of thoughts and promotes the exchange of ideas. Coffee shops chatter with developments as minds overflow with projects. A once shy village drops its inhibitions and becomes comfortable with the expression of emotions. Closets spill once hid ideas. A creative outburst of […]

A pole, a wall and a metal box have recently been used as a stage to express strong and passionate ideas within the streets of Carlsbad. Iconic faces stare through empty eyes as passing motorists chat on cell phones and curse. A fist punches skyward in steadfast determination and the Statue of Liberty raises a […]

Birds flap their feathers through an explosion of color as the sun yawns. The horizon, cold and stormy, is connected to the near lagoon by a bridge of oranges and yellows. High above the mosquito laden water, a concrete foundation, once the bedrock of a delicate house, sits alone during this nightly spectacle of color. […]
The blue sky hints warmth as feeble clouds blow form the sea. Spring greets with hearty handshakes and charismatic smiles arouse conversation. Flowers invite hugs as bees buzz like an unleashed dog frolics after finding a loose panel. The fireplace stays cold and the television sleeps as toes acquaint themselves with the salty tides of […]

The early sun stares at me as I crawl along the 78. Motorist swerve and brows dip. A timecard awaits as a boss stands stiff in a window overlooking an empty parking lot. My eyes wander as my mind organizes the day’s tasks. Projects nag as greater ideas brew. My mind steeps in a stew […]
Do you have a hero, a muse or someone you look up to? Everyone has been influenced my someone else some time in their life. An early memory of a bright painting may have ignited the urge to record what you see or think through dancing images and a song might be responsible for your […]
