Brainstorming, First Prod 1 Ideas

Beginning to create landscape imagery led to the image of myself meditating and reflecting on the river rock event in Sedona. While meditating, the scene becomes surreal as water pours from under the cushion. As I look into the water, my face is reflected. This transitions into a dreamy memory of the river rocks. Later, my reflection morphs into the image of my father reflected in the window as I'm meditating again. I eventually canned this overall concept for being too complicated for a one minute piece. Here is some of the beginning of the scene:

Acrylic Painting

In 2003, I began painting. Mostly acrylic on paper. Looking for an extension of the drawing style. Inspired by personal and collective simple symbols, repetitive techniques, mythological landscapes, and gesture.

This one was inspired by a hill that caught fire across the valley from my house in Mount Washington. It's called "Fire on the Mountain"


"concealed driving"

"reflecting pool"
Notice the spirals. My favorite symbol. I can't seem to stop doing those.

"foam playback"

"bubbles"
this one could be an animation
