In this piece I see a peaceful river gliding effortlessly through a dream-like, underwater landscape.

With her hip jutted out, and blowing blue smoke rings from her favorite vice in hand, no cares are given. It's her party and she'll smoke if she wants to.
The original 10"x30" created and sold to a private collector in 2017.
There is a hidden character walking down a green DNA road with an umbrella. A large power line in the blue area represents the Web that we are all connected through/to today. Numbers, clocks, chemistry symbols, DNA strands, and hidden shapes are all part of this intense “welcome to the matrix” themed abstract art.
This piece is an ever-changing landscape of perception for me. Sometimes I see mountains, flowers, water, and trees. Other times, a cityscape with people.

I was painting at a park when a "mistake" caused me to scrape paint off of the canvas. Liking the result, I decided to keep removing the paint in a pattern of some nearby trees that were reflecting in still water. If you look closely you'll notice faces in the bark, and if you look long enough, you’ll see more of them.
A creature with thoughts spilling out like the waves of the ocean. Their face is a window into another place or time.
A private collector saw this "work-in-progress" photo in a social media post and commented, “Stop it right there! I want to buy it.” After some convincing, I liked it too, and agreed to stop painting.
