Two of my most recent series – Waking Dreams and Portals – deal respectively with the dream world and the passage between this world and the next. My home and studio are on cemetery grounds, an unusual choice that perhaps has served to augment my interest in otherworldly matters.

Over the past few months, following a couple of trips to tropical lands, where wild parrots, lush landscapes, exotic personalities, and stunning museum collections left a deep mark on my psyche, I expanded into other areas, including Nabi-style paintings of birds, numinous landscapes, and both satirical and stylized portraits.

All these paintings are sensual and philosophical responses to the age-old questions of who we are and where we eventually go. While highly decorative, they are also lucid and contemplative. Inspired by Chinese and Buddhist philosophies and other mystic traditions, I have attempted to create images where realities overlap and insistent inquiry seeps out of the edges.
