| No more oils but acrylics with mixed media and almost always collage collage collage. Southwest themes became urban landscapes. I use as many of my own photographs as possible and combine them with found images and collected elements. Referential paintings are rare for me now the medium and texture find my direction. |
| Actually, I’ve had the experience that some of my canvases seem to complete themselves (e.g., Remembrance my tribute to 9/11 and Confluence my tribute to Katrina were both completed prior to the events; and, Final Destination my tribute to the crew of the space shuttle Columbia). |
| Lately, I use a palette knife, my hands and some brushwork to create grounds for my work, going into it with mixed media (including transparency film). When I play in my studio, I stay keenly aware of my connection to nature, the spirit and mankind’s impact on the environment (Rural Once l, ll, lll). |
