“Trance , Connection, and Drift”
Waves are the perfect metaphor for life. Fleeting constantly moving and pushing forward propelled by a mysterious force up out and in the end, back to where it began.

A woman's right to choose
"Leatherback Turtle" 21 x 19
I have been healing from nerve damage in my right arm brought on by overwork. These are the first works in 5 months.
From my Fading Light series highlighting endangered species.
I am honored to be a part of “Encounter: Executive Order 9066” at the de Saisset Museum in Santa Clara . A show that reflects on the 80 years that have past since the signing of Executive Order 9066 which authorized the imprisonment of 110,000 Japanese Americans during WWII
It is my pleasure to announce that I will have 8 portraits from my "con.Text" series in this group show at the Kellogg University Art Gallery on the campus of Cal Poly Pomona.
This is a portrait of Devon. Devon’s grandparents bought a home in the Crenshaw District in 1950, a few years after their illegal imprisonment in the Rowher, Arkansas concentration camp during World War Two. Two years earlier, a portion of the 1913 Alien Land Law was overturned, which enabled Devon’s grandparents the right to buy their 11th Avenue house. Prior to 1948, their right to buy and own a home would have been compromised by the 1913 Alien Land law which disallowed anyone “ineligible to citizenship” from owning or leasing land in California. The Alien Land Laws were specifically tailored to restrict property rights for all Japanese living in California.
Ive been having troubles with my right hand from overwork/overuse. So this is a left handed painting continuing my environment series “Palm” 48x24
Thinking about ideas to bring color into the "con.Text" series using monotypes
Another step in extracting emotional content from an existing idea. Zooming in on “Marcus” and changing value to color #sketch #ideas #color
