The Abertura Series

This series is one part of a larger series of paintings that deal with openings - doors and windows that invite the viewer to go beyond the surface to find their own story.

Abertura Series II

These collages are an extension of the Apertures Series that invite the viewer to find an opening that takes them beneath the surface to find their own story..

The Apertures Series

These varied pieces continue the idea of openings The entire series contains 20 images. This group of paintings goes further into the idea of finding openings in the work that lead the viewer into a deeper place - a place that is more personal and separate from the artist's viewpoint.

Escena Series

These collages are made with the same paper stash which has been coated on both sides with gloss medium and heat set. They have the feel of different kinds of scenic views in the landscape.
