Over the past two years I have produced a series of paintings inspired by the birds in our local park called Berkeley Aquatic Park

Aquatic Park

A friend of mine calls these photos "Not a Step" after the sticker often found on ladders to warn users on proper safe use. It's funny and scary.

Not a Step

These are observations about nature in my life.

Nature

For a long while I liked to paint images found in the Webster's dictionary. This emerged from my flashcard series. It's a long story- I taught reading for 30 years and I experimented with the images and concepts for a long time.

Dictionary/Flashcard Series

This is a grouping where I put things that get stuck in my head and don't have another category to put them in.

Conceptual

This is a grouping of large bird paintings in acrylic, oil and watercolor mediums.

Birds

For a long while I liked to paint from photos of Greek and Roman sculptures.

Classical Statues

I love Carousels. They have always attracted and repelled me at the same time. I think they are interesting compositionally speaking and conceptually speaking.

in this collection I make observations about things that I am interested in such as politics, theater and other TV subjects. I think these paintings are ironic and funny.

In this collection I have creatures whom make me happy and my life enjoyable.
